After several days of flooding in the Houston area, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo shares how she and other emergency officials continue to monitor impacted areas and help residents recover from storm damage.
“We can absolutely see the light at the end of the tunnel,” she continued. “And we’ve made it through the worst of this major event.”
So while things appear to be improving, Hidalgo acknowledged though, that she and other officials with the Office of Emergency Management are still monitoring conditions to ensure proper safety. So while residents may be able to return to their homes after evacuating, some roads impacted by the flood are still hazardous.
“I know that a lot of folks were displaced by this weather event...and I know that evacuating is stressful,” she said. “But, I do want to thank people for following our advice; flooding is one of the leading causes of death in these kinds of situations and we haven’t had a single death that we know of.”Hidalgo also noted how Harris County remains ready to help residents in need by connecting them with the necessary resources.
