Planned Resilience Will Help Texas Prepare for the Next Unlikely Event
By Tom Luce (648 Words)
From the coronavirus pandemic to the winter storm that knocked out essential infrastructure across the state, the past year has been marked by several “unprecedented” events. And for each of them, we have been caught unprepared.
Pandemic-weary Texas newspapers confronted a new disaster Feb. 12-18 as deadly winter storms hammered the state with life-threatening cold, power and water system failures and thousands of miles of treacherous roads.
The storms threatened an already fragile state economy and hampered healthcare systems already sorely taxed by COVID-19.
