Mayor John Whitmire on Tuesday officially rolled out Houston’s plan to install generators at critical city facilities before the end of his first term as the city braces itself for another above-normal hurricane season.
Whitmire delivered the news alongside U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner at Houston’s West Gray Multi-Service Center.
The plan, called the Power Protection Initiative, will allow city officials to provide vital resources to residents as officials work to fix Houston’s storm infrastructure after the city was left in the dark and struggling during the May 2024 derecho and Hurricane Beryl.
