Austin-Travis County Emergency Operations Center Deactivates 

The Austin/Travis County Emergency Operations Center deactivated at 4 p.m. Limited staff remains in the EOC to coordinate recovery efforts for Travis County as a result of recent flooding.

Residents around Lake Travis who were affected by floodwaters can visit traviscountytx.gov/emergency for information on how to receive assistance. 
 
Over the course of five days, city and county officials distributed a total of 3,420 palettes of water, or 907,805 gallons of water. 

A waterway ban for Lake Austin and Lady Bird Lake remains in effect. All creeks within the city are now open.

The EOC Media Line is no longer active. To reach a public information officer with Austin HSEM, media can contact the on-call PIO: 512-974-0599.
