@Bowen4Austin - Please stand by for an explanation from Austin Emergency Management (@AustinHSEM).

[ATX data @data_atx]

D8 candidate @Bowen4Austin gives a plea for more transparency from staff yesterday

The context is that staff asked for an extension to a million $ consulting contract to help w/ COVID FEMA reimbursements , but didn’t give any details on the reimbursements until Paige Ellis asked and still haven’t provided much detail 🤷

Today's conditions remain the same. Please stay off the roads!!

With freezing temperatures on the way, it's always best to be prepared! Here are some best practices for dripping your pipes, just in case. Stay warm out there! 🍑🔥

Kudos to Michael Barnes (@outandabout) @statesman for such fascinating and informative stories about historic disasters in ATX. As suggested in this article, it happened before and could happen again:

[Jim Redick @JimRedick]

At this point I'm convinced ATX is the battleground for these two. The weather goes from hot to hotter to freezing with hardly any in between! 😆

@MyTxMyGun86 @KXAN_News A dropsonde is a small weather instrument that’s dropped from an aircraft to measure conditions in the atmosphere as it falls. 👍

@KXAN_News I know! I know! ✈️ 🌀

[Jim Redick @JimRedick]

ATX being a top city for veterans sparks an important question: how can we "recruit" our hometown heroes - with their leadership, discipline, experience, and continued heart to serve - to strengthen @AustinHSEM preparedness and response efforts?

When one part of the body struggles, the whole body feels it - and a community is no different. With SNAP benefits paused, many of our neighbors will face real hardship.

We take care of each other. It’s who we are. Texans help Texans. 🧡
