Brrrrr! 🥶❄️ It looks like we have the potential for a winter storm late this weekend into early next week. Now is a good time to prepare and to Protect the Four 'P's: People, Pets, Pipes, and Plants!
Additionally, you should also practice fire safety. If you are using a space heater, place it on a level, hard surface and keep flammable objects at least 3 feet away. Turn off your space heaters before you go to bed. Do not use fuel-burning devices such as grills, they release deadly carbon monoxide.
We are closely monitoring the storm for any changes in the forecast. Follow this page and our City of Katy Office of Emergency Management page for local weather updates. Sign up for alerts at www.cityofkaty.com/KTAlerts

ATTENTION! We are posting a few short videos of some of our parks. As you can see, they are heavily flooded and some have pretty strong currents running thru them. These ares are dangerous for vehicles and pedestrians at this time. Please do not attempt to visit these parks, even to just grab a photo or video. We'd rather see you come back and play when everything is safe and dry again!

They "delivered" a tree baby...
Take a look at what our guys were busy with today! They helped pre-drill holes for our larger trees which will be planted by our Community and CenterPoint Employee Volunteers this weekend as we begin the planting for our new Arboretum. We are so excited about this project and are looking forward to working with one of our local Eagle Scouts, Adam Smith, who has helped coordinate these efforts for his project. It's going to be a Treerific weekend! #parkspeoplerule #keepkatybeautiful #welovetrees #centerpointemployeesrock #eaglescouts #volunteersmakeadifference
