This is a prime example of why we say "turn around don't drown." It only takes 12" of fast moving water to sweep a car away.

Travis County Judge Andy Brown on Friday signed a disaster declaration for the threat of New World screwworm. There are no cases in Travis County yet, Brown said. "Our goal in Travis County is to keep it that way," he said. What should you do for a suspected screwworm case? And how can you tell a screwworm fly from a housefly? Here's what you need to know. statesman.com/news/healthcar…

For the second year in a row, Travis County sees a drop in fatal overdoses

Travis County Judge Andy Brown attributed the decline to the increased availability of the overdose reversal drug Naloxone.

Travis County stands by our partners at the City of Austin as this tragedy unfolds.
Travis County Judge Andy Brown This morning, I stand with our community with a shocked, horrified, and heavy heart in wake of the devastating mass shooting on West Sixth Street. I spoke this morning with Mayor Watson, ATCEMS Chief Luckritz, and Sheriff Hernandez, and offered any needed assistance.  The investigation is ongoing.  We hold close all who have been impacted by this senseless act of violence.  My heart goes out to the victims and their families. Thank you to our first responders for their quick actions, especially ATCEMS and APD, which helped prevent even more loss and brought order during a terrifying moment.
