Dallas city leaders are holding a meeting Monday to gauge the city's preparedness for winter weather.
Another option the city says it might fall back on this winter is again using private charter buses as temporary warming stations.
That's something they deployed during last year's winter storm to provide basic warmth and electricity on the go to neighborhoods that needed it most. The city said they've also got a battle plan for water in the event of pipe bursts during extremely cold weather. In the event of a need for water distribution services, Procurement Services has identified vendors that can provide large-scale deliveries of bottled water. OEM also has approximately 1,000 five-gallon buckets that may be used for non-potable water.
The city's Office of Emergency Management said it will notify residents of warming stations, procedures, prevention efforts and warnings ahead of any winter event this season.
