West Siders were hit particularly hard by floods nearly a month ago. More than 8 inches of rain flooded basements and ruined people's belongings. “Something has to be put in place in front of these homes to prevent this water from coming back in.'
To see what relief is needed, both federal and state emergency management agencies have been surveying the damage this week.
“When these officials come to your door, we do want to hear the story. We want to understand the impact of what took place in that flooding event,” FEMA regional administrator Tom Sivak said at a news conference Wednesday. “We’re not taking personal information, but we are understanding that event and the damages that happened in your home.”
Jitu Brown, an Austin resident and board president with the Kenwood-Oakland Community Organization, had about 4 feet of water in his home — his library destroyed, couch ruined and wall outlets damaged. “People felt seen,” Brown said. “While it definitely moved slow, people were eager to share with the IEMA and FEMA representatives the devastation that occurred.”and an Austin resident, said he’d like to see a task force that can think of more preventative measures for the next time it floods.
