# FEMA Funds Galveston Port Security Projects

On October 23, 2026, FEMA awarded the Port of Galveston $1,180,524 through the FY 2026 Port Security Grant Program for four security projects. With port matching funds, the projects total $1,574,034 and cover security systems maintenance and cybersecurity updates, expanded video surveillance, smart locks, and deployable vehicle barriers. The funding supports port security improvements but does not itself identify vendor awards or open solicitations.

- The funded scopes may create follow-on demand for surveillance equipment, cybersecurity maintenance, smart-lock systems, and deployable vehicle barriers; the signal identifies no selected contractors, solicitation details, or procurement contacts.
- Suppliers with relevant capabilities can use the project scopes to identify potential fit and check the Port of Galveston for follow-on procurement opportunities.
