Please refer to the following post for the most recent updates: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1GLcUGgbVy/
Emergency personnel continue actively assessing conditions within the evacuation areas this morning. Many residents are understandably anxious to return home, and evacuation orders will be lifted in coordination with responding agencies as soon as conditions are determined to be safe.
Response partners continue conducting damage assessments and evaluating road access, utilities, and overall public safety conditions throughout the affected areas. This includes coordination among fire personnel, law enforcement, utility providers, emergency management, and other responding agencies.
The Church at Quail Creek, located at 1801 Tascosa Rd in Amarillo, is currently accepting evacuees needing shelter assistance.
This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional situation for many families. Every decision is being made with the safety of residents, first responders, and the community in mind. The patience, support, and compassion being shown throughout this response are deeply appreciated, and additional updates will be shared as information becomes available.
As a reminder, the following areas are still under mandatory evacuation: Bishop Estates, Two Deer Creek, Eagle Tree, Quail Canyon, Bishop Ranches, Alta Vista Estates, Dripping Springs, and Silver Pointe. https://warn.pbs.org/
