SIDE PROJECT! Heading out to get eyes on every low water crossing in @ATXfloods for my jurisdiction. Want to take photos of each and make graphics for when we close them. All in preps of our typical wet fall flood season. 🙂 #EMGTwitter

Congrats to @Chief_Manley of @Austin_Police, who was named one of the 50 "World's Greatest Leaders" by @FortuneMagazine! Chosen for his focus on community, ATX's low crime rate, and leadership w/the ATX bombings, this is well deserved. Honored to serve alongside you, Chief!

.@AdamH_CBSAUSTIN has been finding all the trouble spots caused by the heavy rain. Closed...means closed. BTW - @ATXfloods is a great source for checking road closures. Turn Around Don't Drown.

Well, we made it! The 10-day event that starts the spring festival season, #SXSW, ended Monday. We had 75 people from across AFD working more than 1,577 hours to keep attendees safe. And, we only wrote 3 citations in those 10 days; all were unrelated to SXSW. 📸 C. Wilkinson, AFD

BUY FLOOD INSURANCE today!!! Don’t believe anyone who tells you “your house is not in a flood zone”. Damage from flooding is not covered by your standard homeowners insurance policy. Go to https://t.co/P4LG6Lmvxu for the facts.

Flooding is Austin’s top weather-related emergency and the number-one cause of weather-related fatalities. Our friends at Austin Watershed are holding an awesome contest to educate students about the risk of flooding that we all face in Central Texas. #atx311 #competition #austin

The Acting Administrator of NOAA is literally seeking out and connecting with NOAA employees and DMing them his support personally.

Think about how much time that must take, and on a Sunday. Now THAT is what I call leadership. 👏

This is what one of the low water crossings looks like as of 8 AM 1/3 - Ridgmar/Brushy Creek near 2243 in Leander(WILCO). This crossing is often the first to close, but I'd say this is the highest it has been since the October flood event. #ewxspotter @NWSSanAntonio @TravisCOSW
