Many roads were treated overnight but we still have issues with icy road conditions district wide. It is still not a good idea to get on the roads. You can get a complete list of icy roadways at https://t.co/SRjCQyRbh4. Stay warm! Stay safe.

[Emily Black @EmilyBlackPIO]

If you absolutely have to get on the roads, drive like you’re in a school zone, very slowly, cautiously. There is patchy ice on all state roadways in the Houston region, this can be very dangerous. TxDOT crews are treating everything they can.

[Lina Hidalgo @LinaHidalgoTX]

As ice melts throughout the day, you may have a window to resupply before conditions deteriorate again. Please be a good neighbor and only purchase enough to get through the weekend. Info on some open stores: https://t.co/iz9arp84UE

The City of Houston is under a boil water 💧 notice. Do no drink the water without boiling it first. Bring all water to a boil for at least two minutes. Let it cool before using. More information:

As conditions change in the Houston area go to https://t.co/SRjCQyzApw to get the latest updates on icy roads. You can also go to https://t.co/Vt2tSvNjho for road conditions across the state. Please plan on staying home. Stay safe!

[Emily Black @EmilyBlackPIO]

Same story, different day. There is still ice on roadways, even in the southern portions of the Houston region. Stay home if you can, drive as if you’re in a school zone if you must get out. Crews are treating the ice and monitoring conditions, please give them space to work.

I can’t believe July 7, 2016 was 4 years ago. So many DPD officers went through hell this night & I can’t even imagine. Just my interviews with these officers & families kept me up & woke me up for a lot of nights. Lead with love. Watch our documentary: https://t.co/bxBaBqtc3Y

The grocery stores in our city will not be shutting down. There is no problem in our food supply chain.

There is no need to rush to the store as if things are running out.

I am asking Houstonians to buy what you need and think of others. #COVID19

I have been receiving updates from @ArtAcevedo and @FireChiefofHFD Peña in regards to the explosion in NW #Houston.

There are no air quality issues at this time. Please stay away from the area so emergency responders can secure & help people from surrounding neighborhoods. st
