Yesterday, floods proved to be d�j� vu all over again for too many of our neighborhoods in Southwest Houston. I was fortunate enough to be able to drive around Monday to assess damage and speak with a few constituents.
Unfortunately, our neighbors in Larkwood, Bonham Acres, Braeburn Valley, Braeburn Glen, and Braeburn Valley West, too many of whom were impacted by the Memorial Day 2015 floods, got a double dose of it this time. While we can't control the weather, we can help each other recover.
The City of Houston has set up
houstonrecovers.org as ground central for finding answers to any questions regarding flooding, permitting, volunteering, and other information regarding the flood.
Contact 3-1-1
If you haven't done so already, please call 311 and your District J office to report flooding in your home, business or in the street. City damage assessment teams will begin the process of determining the level of sustained damage. There are three ways to do that:
- Call 311 (713.837.0311)
- Visit houston311.org and click on "Flooding"
- Download the Houston 311 App for Android or iOS
Be sure to retain your service request number to share with the District J office.
