AUSTIN (KXAN) – The Austin Disaster Relief Network and the Central Texas Food Bank issued an urgent plea Saturday for more bottled water and canned food donations to help with Hurricane Harvey recovery.
“It’s natural for all of us to want to do something when a disaster hits,” said Lucas Cook, Austin musician and concert organizer.
Earlier this week, buses took some of the evacuees to Houston or Victoria.
The city said they will try their best to find housing for remaining people.
Port Arthur evacuees find shelter in tents About 250 tents have been put up in the parking lot in Port Arthur, Texas, as FEMA and county officials work on a long-term housing solution.
Each tent can house up to 14 people.
Men and women will be separated, and families will be kept together.
The mayor said the tents are temporary shelters where people can stay for about 30 days.
But he said that could be extended.
