AUSTIN, Texas — City leaders and neighbors who live in Austin's eastern crescent are calling for the city manager to involve the community in planning for the next disaster.
"The City should be prepared to assist their citizens and residents, not the community and yet that's what we were doing, and the City responded very late," AISD Support Specialist Sonia Hernández.
During the historic winter storm, Sonia Hernandez said she felt hopeless, with no electricity for more than two weeks. The AISD Parent Support Specialist at Palm Elementary said she couldn't help her students.
