Remembering past floods, Austin City Council pushes for more preventative measures
Manage episode 304687468 series 2582831
This month in the Austin area marks eight years since the Halloween floods of 2013 and six years since the Halloween floods of 2015. Combined, those two disasters locally destroyed more than 100 homes, damaged more than 1,000 others and triggered higher insurance premiums on renters and homeowners. Concerned that area residents might not be fully prepared for another big storm, city leaders are taking additional mitigation steps. On Thursday, Austin City Council members voted to direct the city manager to do a number of things to prepare the city for future storms. The vote, which passed unanimously, happened to come the morning after a heavy rainstorm that led to a flash flood warning in parts of the area.
