DAMAGES: Many counties in affected areas remain without power, communications, water or basic services. Preliminary damage assessments are underway, but reports are impeded due to lack of communications and the focus of local resources remains on basic life support operations. As of 1:00 p.m. 10-04-05
Keeping up with our pattern of presenting selected sections of the situation reports to our site's visitiors: "Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD): Fifty-four Game Wardens continue to assist with law enforcement operations along with assisting those in need or medical attention as well as food and water deliveries in Sabine, Jasper, Tyler, San Augustine, and Newton Counties. The TPWD Command Center in Jasper, reported the following activity for 10-02-05: 1. 1813 contacts 2. 17 critical care contacts 3. 10 medical calls 4. 40 LE calls 5. 19 LE assists 6. 16 security details 7. 139 welfare checks 8. 1 arrest (drugs/weapons/trespass/etc.) 9. 5,164 meals distributed 10. 425 cases of water distributed 11. 5164 meals distributed Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT): TXDOT has over 420 employees as contractors in the affected areas working continuously. All major roads are open. TXDOT crews continue to clear debris on secondary roads and work with energy companies to clear electrical lines. TXDOT is clearing debris along the ROW on major highways under the Federal Highway Administration’s Emergency Relief program. Many traffic signals in the affected area are lacking electrical power. TXDOT personnel have implemented innovative methods of powering traffic signals at critical intersections including use of portable generators and laying temporary drop lines. As electricity is restored, traffic signals will be returned to operational pre-storm status. TXDOT assisted the GLO by clearing a county road to provide access for a temporary pipeline to be installed to offload a dry dock tanker loaded with fuel. Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA): TDHCA is working with the GDEM Recovery Staff to conduct post-hurricane damage assessments. Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC): Field reports and contacts with the EOCs in the affected counties continue to indicate that few animal issues persist, so the animal issues incident command post (ICP) will be deactivated today. However, key agency representatives on the ICP can still be contacted for animal-related issues by calling 512-719-0700 or 800-550-8242. There have been some calls for donations of food, grain, hay, and fencing materials, and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) is working with industry partners to see if the needed items can be obtained. However, for the most part requestors are being advised to go to their local feed, pet, or hardware stores for the materials, as most of these are now opened." October 2, 2005 PM The Texas Emergency Management Agency has issued its 13th Hurricane Rita Situation Report Recovery Centers
