Polk County to withdraw Trinity County and two cities from joint emergency management plan
Summary
The commissioners voted to remove Trinity County and the cities of Groveton and Trinity from Polk County's joint emergency management plan and submit a Polk‑only plan to TDEM by April 4.
Polk County Commissioners approved removing Trinity County and the cities of Groveton and Trinity from Polk County’s joint interjurisdictional emergency management plan and authorized submission of a plan covering only Polk County and its five incorporated cities to the Texas Division of Emergency Management by April 4.
County staff said they revisited the joint resolution after a prior presentation in Trinity County and, because Polk County did not want the county’s emergency plan submission to be delayed, the court directed staff to prepare a Polk‑only plan rather than wait for Trinity County’s decision.
The court approved the change and directed emergency management to submit the revised plan to TDEM by the stated deadline.
