At a regional conference organized by Hidalgo County, leaders from Edinburg, McAllen, Alamo, Mission, and Pharr gathered to discuss strategies for effective storm preparedness.
These efforts coincide with proactive measures in Harlingen, where significant drainage system improvements are underway. “Ensuring our infrastructure is robust can make a significant difference in mitigating potential flooding during adverse weather conditions,” commented Luis Reyes, a project manager overseeing the upgrades.
