The Austin-area forecast for Thursday afternoon, March 16, through early morning Friday, March 17, includes severe weather, with possible thunderstorms and very high winds. Please be sure to prepare any active construction sites according to approved plans for inclement weather.
Specifically, please ensure appropriate erosion and sediment control measures are installed properly and working as intended. If your site has inlet protection in the right of way, remove those controls before rainfall begins to allow for proper drainage and help reduce risks associated with possible flooding. Additionally, with wind gusts expected to exceed 60 mph, please secure construction materials and equipment that could be affected.
It is important that we work together to help protect our community and the City's infrastructure. These proactive measures can help protect public safety and ensure the City’s drainage system continues to perform correctly.
If you have questions, please visit our Environmental Inspections web page or email the Environmental Inspections team. Check the National Weather Service website for the latest forecast.
Thank you in advance for doing your part to help reduce risks related to severe weather. We appreciate your cooperation and commitment to our community’s safety and well-being.
