Staggered Return For Evacuees
Governor Rick Perry’s office has released a plan for a staggered return of evacuees. The return will start tomorrow and last three days.
From the press release:
Sunday: Residents may return to communities west of I-45 and north of I-10, including residents of Tomball, The Woodlands, Waller, Hockley, Katy, Brookshire and surrounding communities.
Monday: Residents may return to communities west of I-45 and south of I-10, including residents of Richmond, Stafford, Rosenberg, Sugarland, Pearland and surrounding communities, plus all Houston residents inside Loop I-610.
Tuesday: Residents may return to all remaining areas east of I-45 and north of I-10 up to the Liberty and Chamber county lines.
Whether or not people follow these guidlines is anybody’s guess. Hopefully people that can stay out of town for a while will do so in order to allow fuel, supplies, and repair crews to come in quickly.
