***Swift Water Rescue Gear***

A grant from the Pat Green Foundation will provide each Llano Police Department Officer with necessary equipment and training to be used in the course of our duties during major flood events or water rescues.

With the Llano River running right through our city, and following the flooding event last year, Chief Bauer made it a priority to make sure each patrol vehicle was equipped with a "go-bag" that includes a life jacket, helmet, and a throw bag in order to further the mission of the Llano Police Department to protect and preserve life. Each officer will also be equipped with a strobe light, knife, and whistle to be attached to the life jacket in the event they are swept away during a water rescue.

Major flooding events have hit way too close to home over the last couple of years and the Pat Green Foundation has stepped forward in a big way to help equip our officers with necessary gear to save lives in the midst of catastrophic flooding events. To say we're beyond grateful for this would be an understatement.

Chief Bauer worked with LVFD Chief Gilliland to put the proper gear in the hands of our officers, and we will be training with the Llano Texas Volunteer Fire Department and their swift water team in a combined effort to protect the citizens of the City of Llano, Texas.

****POWER UPDATE****
05/26/26 @ 20:00hrs

Due to internal damage at the substation, LCRA will have to bring in a mobile substation while repairs are made.

It appears that by the time they mobilize and deliver the substation power may not be restored until early tomorrow morning.

***UPDATE***
19:55hrs

Electrical crews are advising that power in the City of Llano may not be restored for several hours.

Please prepare, as best as you can, for the extended outage.

***UPDATE***
19:40hrs

Traffic lights are functioning via battery backup at Young/Bessemer Streets.

South Side traffic lights are still down.

REMEMBER—-when traffic lights are not functioning, the intersection becomes a 4-way stop! If you didn’t remember, you know now.

****POWER OUTAGE****
05/26/26 @ 18:23hrs

For the most part, it appears as the entire city is without power at this moment.

City Crews are well aware and they are working on it, however; this could take some time.

If you’re able to stay put for a little while…wherever you’re at…that would be great and much appreciated.

With the power being out, all traffic signals are down at all intersections. Visibility is low. If you have to be traveling make sure your headlights are on and pay attention to traffic at the intersections. Treat them like a 4-Way Stop and BE PATIENT AND SAFE.

Sometimes things are so funny we can't help but share...

We saw this making the rounds on social media and felt the need to bring attention to its unusually high level of BS.
(Bovine Feces...Meadow Muffins...you're trackin', right?)
It's crazy to think what folks believe sometimes.

Drive on friend...sometimes the best trips are those without a destination in mind. They get even better when you take the time to stop and enjoy our beautiful little place on earth.

So, mash on it, eternal burner of the E15/E85 Ethanol flames, you've filled your tank and likely broke the bank. You're welcome to visit Llano for no reason at all...we'd love to see you, and we won't ask where you're going because you're already here!

Remember the Flood Watch through the weekend and I to Monday?

By the looks of this, there may be a slight chance of extending it.

*****FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT*****

FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY EVENING

WHAT...Flooding and flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

WHERE...A portion of south-central Texas, including Llano County

IMPACTS...There is a potential for life threatening flooding in the watch area. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings may be flooded.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
Showers and thunderstorms will be capable of producing high rainfall rates which could quickly lead to flooding across the area. Be especially cautious as creeks, streams, and rivers may rise out of their banks quickly. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches with isolated amounts up to 6 inches are possible for the duration of the Flood Watch.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
