BRAZORIA COUNTY SITUATION REPORT

9-26-08
 

The Brazoria County POD (Points of Distribution) sites for ice, water, and MRE’s have all shut down. With most of the power restored and nearly all of the grocery stores open, the need for the POD’s has expired.

 The Brazoria County EOC will curtail operations to a skeleton crew starting Tuesday morning September 30, 2008. The hours of operation will remain 8 am to 5 pm. The information hot line (979-864-1064) will continue to operate during the hours of 8 am to 5pm daily.

 Entry to Treasure Island is still restricted to residents and disaster workers. Surfside has opened Hwy 332 to Surfside. If you are not a resident or disaster worker, you will not be granted entry to this area. The Blue Water Highway (County Road 257) is washed out in several places. Because of this, you will travel at your own risk if you try to get to Treasure Island in any vehicle other than trucks or 4 wheel drive vehicles. If you are a resident of Treasure Island, you should enter through Surfside. Access may not be granted through Galveston. You will only be granted permission to enter in daylight hours.  You cannot get to Surfside via Blue Water Highway from Galveston. The road is not passable.

 All of the shelters in the county have been shut down except the Frontier Baptist Church in Angleton. The Baptist Men’s Group from Kentucky is wrapping up their operation today. They will not serve any more meals after today (9-29-08) 

We are still trying to get FEMA DRC’s (disaster assistance) established in Alvin, Lake Jackson, and Freeport. There is an office established in Pearland at  3216 E. Broadway in Pearland.
