Rep. Herrero Urges Emergency Preparedness for Hurricane Season
August 5th, 2008Hours after Tropical Storm Edouard hit east of Galveston on Tuesday, Nueces County officials held a meeting of their own to discuss hurricane preparations.
Nearly 50 people attended the meeting at the Nueces County Courthouse on Tuesday night to talk with state and county officials about hurricanes. Their questions ranged from how long it would take to open the additional evacuation lane on Interstate 37, to whether Corpus Christi could evacuate via railways the way Rio Grande Valley residents did when Hurricane Dolly struck last month.
From the Corpus Christi Caller-Times:
“It’s important for members of the community to know how every level of government works to ensure the health and the well being of residents,” Herrero said.
