Fort Bend County Pct. 3 Commissioner Andy Meyers with Operators of the Bill LIttle Pumping Station in Sugar Land
The Fort Bend County Office of Homeland Security, Emergency Management, conducted a full-scale training exercise to prepare for potential emergency weather events. The day-long exercise focused on Levee Improvement Districts (LIDs), and Municipal Utility Districts (MUSs).
“It’s reassuring to see our levee operators taking part in emergency response drills,” Precinct 3 Commissioner Andy Meyers said. “Today, I visited the Bill Little Pump Station Operators in Sugar Land. I watched our levee operators’ response to a variety of scenarios that they could face during a heavy rain event.”
Fort Bend County has 99 miles of levees that protect billions of dollars of real estate, including our homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, and shopping centers.
“I appreciate our levee operators’ dedication to keeping us safe and the professionalism they demonstrated during today’s drills,” Meyers said.
