City Cast Austin State To Address Flood Safety, Honoring Austin’s Flood Victims, and Texans Helping Texans
Today, the Austin Fire Department union will hold a vote of no confidence in the fire chief, Joel Baker, after accusing him of preventing rescue crews from assisting in Kerr County during the devastating Fourth of July floods. Plus, Gov. Greg Abbott added flood safety response to the agenda for the upcoming special session later this month. On today's Friday News Roundup, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Hey Austin newsletter editor Kelsey Bradshaw and executive producer Eva Ruth Moravec to give you the latest developments following the catastrophic Central Texas Floods. We honor the Austinites who lost their lives, discuss why the floods were so deadly, and highlight the many ways Texans are showing up to help each other recover.
