Quote, "Two days after catastrophic floods roared through central Texas, the Federal Emergency Management Agency did not answer nearly 2third o ...

Wondering what Texans actually want, the extent to which they want the government to be involved here. Enhancing infrastructure for early warning. Well, I suspect that on July 21, when the special session gavels back in, that the legislature will go back to the bill that was administered this past session but was unsuccessful.It was a half a billion dollar package to create an early detection and warning system with respect to a state that unfortunately is subject to the most amount of natural disasters tha ...

The need for seaw walls is intensifying due to climate change. But seaw walls themselves, at least the old kinds, are not very friendly to the environment.
