H.R. No. 560 |
|
||
WHEREAS, From February 13-17, 2021, a historic winter storm | ||
swept across the state and brought significant snowfall, freezing | ||
rain, and sustained, below-freezing temperatures to the Central | ||
Texas area; and | ||
WHEREAS, The winter conditions resulted in blackouts that | ||
impacted nearly 200,000 Austin Energy homes and more throughout the | ||
Travis County area, forcing many Texans to contend with freezing | ||
weather without heat or electricity; as ice accumulated on | ||
roadways, some area residents were unable to obtain food or make | ||
trips for other essential items, and the record-low temperatures | ||
also led to frozen or burst pipes that left many without running | ||
water; and | ||
WHEREAS, During this unprecedented event, leaders and | ||
citizens of Central Texas stepped up to provide food, water, and | ||
other resources to community members in need; many of them were | ||
experiencing their own hardships at this time, and some braved | ||
dangerous road conditions in order to reach and render aid to their | ||
vulnerable neighbors; and | ||
WHEREAS, Among those who distinguished themselves in the | ||
midst of this crisis was Stacy Fletcher, who coordinated relief | ||
efforts for elderly residents at the Cove at Heatherwilde Park | ||
Senior Apartments; and | ||
WHEREAS, Winter Storm Uri was a natural disaster of historic | ||
magnitude for our state, and Central Texans are profoundly grateful | ||
for the caring individuals who went above and beyond during this | ||
challenging time for their community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby honor Stacy Fletcher for providing vital help to | ||
her neighbors during Winter Storm Uri and extend to her sincere | ||
appreciation for her hard work and selfless service; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Ms. Fletcher as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
