FLOOD SAFETY TIPS

Texas weather is unpredictable. Know what to do when severe weather occurs, including severe flooding. Here are ways to prepare before a flood occurs and what to do during one.

Before the Flood 1. Check with the Engineering Department (817.788.7080) on the extent of past flooding in your area.

• City staff can tell you about the causes of repetitive flooding, what the city is doing about it and what would be an

appropriate flood protection level. They can also visit your property to discuss flood protection alternatives.

2. Prepare for flooding by doing the following:

• Know how to shut off the electricity and gas to your house

• Develop a response plan—consult the American Red

when a flood comes.

Cross website for information on creating an emergency preparedness plan.

• Make a list of emergency numbers and identify a safe place to go.

• The American Red Cross has also published the brochure

• Make a household inventory and put insurance policies,

Repairing Your Flooded Home, which provides information on planning and preparing for a flood event as well as repairing after a flood event.

valuable papers, medicine, etc. in a safe place.

• Report blockages in creeks, culverts, drainage ditches and storm drain inlets by calling Public Works at 817-788-7076.

3. Consider some permanent flood protection measures.

• Mark your fuse box to show the circuits to the floodable areas. Turning off the power to these floodable areas can reduce property damage and save lives.

• Consider flood protection alternatives such as flood walls or berms. Note that some flood protection

measures may require permits. Please check with the Engineering Division and/or Building Inspections for more information.

• A copy of Homeowner’s Guide to Retrofitting: Six Ways to Protect Your House from Flooding are available at no charge to download from FEMA.

4. Talk to the Engineering Division for information on financial assistance.

• If you are interested in obtaining more information

• Get a flood insurance policy—it will help pay for

5. Get a flood insurance policy.

protection. In most cases, there is a 30-day waiting period before the National Flood Insurance Program coverage takes effect.

• Contact your insurance agent for more information on rates and coverage.

During and After the Flood 1. Check with the Engineering Department (817.788.7080) on the extent of past flooding in your area.

• Do not wade through floodwaters due to the danger of pollutants, debris (nails, glass, etc) and animals (snakes, ants, etc.). Floodwaters are often murky and depth is hard to determine.

heed the warnings of the emergency management and follow the instructions to evacuate—it saves lives of those around you and possibly of the emergency workers responding.

• Do not drive through floodwaters! Turn around, don’t

• Ask for a licensed electrician, plumber etc. to check or

turn on your power, water, and/or gas.

Hurst Unveils

In September 2023, the City Council and Hurst Community Arts & Historic Landmark Preservation Committee selected ten talented artists for phase two of the Utility Box Art Project. In celebration of Artists pose with their designs as a part of the Hurst Utility Box Art Project.

12

WHERE WE LIVE | SPRING 2024

Hurst’s rich history and vibrant culture, the phase two theme was “The Building Blocks of Hurst.”

Building blocks of Hurst come alive through creative canvases Artists were challenged to encapsulate the essence of the community’s evolution through time. The artists embraced the theme wholeheartedly, each contributing their interpretation of the building blocks that have shaped Hurst into the thriving city it is today. The designs highlight the contributions of individuals, organizations, industries, and the educational systems that have shaped Hurst’s history.

These once-ordinary utility boxes have been transformed into colorful canvases that radiate unmistakable “Hurst vibes.” The phase two artworks are visually stunning, showcasing Hurst’s history, iconic landmarks such as Bell Helicopter and L.D. Bell High School, elements of youth within our educational institutions, and more.

You can find more information on the artists and the stories behind their artwork on our website. The platform offers a map of the transformed utility boxes and photos of each artist posing with their work.

The Utility Box Art Project is a testament to Hurst’s dedication to fostering a vibrant and culturally rich community. We’re thrilled to showcase artistic expressions that not only beautify the City but also serve as a source of inspiration, encouraging residents to reflect on their City’s past while embracing the limitless possibilities of its future. Hurst, once again, proves that art has the power to unite, inspire, and build a stronger sense of community.

Stay tuned for more Art in Public Places projects in the near future!
