Workers from the Development Services Department are out in the field working on repairing damage caused by this week’s winter storm. The DSD has released an announcement informing Austinites that “If your home or business is in need of emergency repairs, work can begin immediately. DSD will work with you to retroactively permit and inspect all emergency repairs to ensure work was completed safely.” Those who have fallen limbs or trees should take photos and document the estimated diameter and size of the tree. If a tree or structure has fallen on a power line, residents are advised to contact Austin Energy immediately. Find more information on emergency repair permits at austintexas.gov/page/
