As you all know, the forecast can change quickly, so please keep an eye on the weather

You may notice the aircraft warning devices on the power lines near our firehouse. Bandera Electric recently installed these at our request because we use the lot across from the firehouse (with the owner’s permission) as a landing zone for medical transport helicopters. We have 9 of these PELA’s (Pre-designated Emergency Landing Area) throughout our service area. A PELA gives us a known safe helicopter landing area in various parts of our district. Air Evac station 48 in Kerrville has these preloaded in their onboard navigation system to ensure faster transport when needed, and any county fire department and EMS can access the data through our text based paging system. The last picture shows the map of our 9 PELA locations.

📋REPORT FLOOD OR STORM DAMAGE

Kendall County residents and business owners who experienced damage from the recent severe weather or flooding are encouraged to report it through the Texas Division of Emergency Management’s iSTAT damage survey.

The information submitted through iSTAT helps local and state officials see where damage occurred, understand the overall impact to our community and determine what recovery resources may be needed.

To submit a report:

1. Make sure the area is safe before checking your property.
2. Take photos or video of the damage before cleanup begins, when possible.
3. Visit:
➡️ https://damage.tdem.texas.gov/
4. Select the survey for the current severe weather or flooding event.
5. Enter the requested information and upload photos of the damage.

The survey is available in English and Spanish.

Please remember:

• Submitting an iSTAT report does not guarantee financial assistance.
• The survey does not replace filing a claim with your insurance company.
• iSTAT is not for emergencies. Call 911 if there is an immediate threat to life or safety.

Even if the damage seems minor, please report it. Every submission helps us get a clearer picture of how Kendall County was affected.
