PROCLAMATION
Whereas A flood is a natural and expected condition on the Guadalupe River; and
Whereas A flood is likely to occur when very heavy rains fall for an extended
length of time; and
Whereas Slow rains that continue for many hours can also bring on floods; and
Whereas Thunder, intense lightning and black clouds are, flood warnings that
nature
provides; and
Whereas At times of heavy rainfall, the Guadalupe River and adjacent creeks flow
very full and fast, and a wall of water called a crest is sometimes created,
causing a rise of several feet above normal in a matter of minutes; and
Whereas The river and creeks can then spread out of their banks to great widths and
create severe destruction; and
Whereas Weather experts annually predict major hurricanes during this time of yeaz
that can potentially cause flooding in our river and creeks;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT KNOWN:
That I, Fred L. Henneke, County Judge of Kerr County, Texas, do hereby
proclaim November I8 through 22"d, 2002, as
"FLOOD AWARENESS WEEK" FOR KERB COUNTY"
and call upon all citizens of our County to be highly awaze and sensitive to
the possibility and criticality of local flooding conditions.
Signed this / ~ ~C. day of October, 2002.
