Austin, we need your help! We are feeding thousands of people at Navarro High school and need volunteer reinforcements. Can 20 of you sign up right now by responding to this tweet and coming to the entrance at Fairfield and Maine Dr? We need help now.

Most roads are still icy & remain in dangerous condition. If you must leave your home for critical needs, please do so with caution.

If you must travel to one of the warming shelters due to medical necessity, please call 311.

HAPPENING NOW! 17 out of our 38 current calls are for falls.

Falls on hard ice covered surfaces can be serious and even deadly!

Our responders are having extreme difficulties responding safely or even at all due to the current road conditions.

PLEASE stay off icy areas!

[ATCEMS @ATCEMS]

Your #ATCEMSMedics encourage you to take the time to prepare yourself now in the event of a power outage: Keep mobile devices fully charged; Keep batteries, candles & lighting devices available; Consider camping gear for food prep; Layer up & use blankets/sleeping bags for warmth

The main takeaway in regard to travel in the Austin-area today:

“...you should not assume the roads have been treated.”

[Leander Police @Leander_Police]

Road conditions have worsened and our road crews are unable to continue sanding at this time. This means that roads are NOT safe to drive on and it may be difficult for us to get to you if there is a collision. Please stay home and stay safe.
