On Friday September 22, 2017 the Dallas News published an
article ‘What's happening with Hurricane Harvey repairs and the state’s rainy day fund’. It is important to stay aware
of damage caused by hurricane Harvey, many people right now are in need of help
getting back up on their feet, and anyone is able to help in some sort of way.
Even though Dallas didn’t get a direct hit from Harvey, the hurricane brought
heavy rainstorms to the area that resulted in serious flooding damage. City of
Dallas is working hard on trying to recover, and one of the ways to rebuild is
thinking about where to find funds to cover all expenses to pay first respondents, and contractors to remove debris from roads. Not only is Dallas
worrying about removing debris, the biggest issue right now is finding funds to
continue to operate schools along the entire city. Events like this should be
understood by local cities such as Austin, we are a city that can help with
donations and help volunteer in any possible way. It was reported that Austin
residents where in the radar for more potential damages caused by Harvey, fortunately
the storm didn’t take a turn further.
