Austin-Travis County EMS said they are prepared for severe storms and possible flooding this holiday weekend.
Austin-Travis EMS deployed two boats with a team of six people to South Texas Friday morning to assist with heavy rain., we also have two teams of rescue paramedics that are standing by, ready to go with boats to respond to any emergencies that happen here in Austin over the weekend as well," says Fuentes.With the anticipated weather Central Texas is expected to see, Fuentes say they've been in communication with those who are camping in the bushy areas.
"We want anyone that might be struggling with homelessness that's camped, and you're in a creek or drainage area to move away from that area for this weekend, so they don't get caught unaware and get caught in any flood water," says Fuentes."People that are around creek beds or drainage areas could catch them, could find themselves caught in a really bad situation really quickly," says Fuentes.
