FBMUD47 Residents

To help prevent flooded streets and property damage, we ask your assistance in removing storm debris from around the storm water inlets near you. This will help rain/storm water to drain freely and quickly from our streets.

Starting Tuesday, July 16, 2024, the City of Missouri City will begin collecting storm debris in the area. Storm debris does not need to be trimmed down, cut, tied, bundled, or bagged. Please help us out by separating your debris into two categories:

• Vegetative Items: Tree logs, stumps, loose branches, limbs, and plants.
• Construction and Demolition Items: Fencing material, lumber, furniture, and more.

Remember:

• Vegetative and construction items will be collected separately in different trucks, possibly at different times.

Where to place your debris:

• Please put your debris curbside away from roads or storm drains. If you don’t have a sidewalk, place it at the edge of your property closest to the curb.
• Avoid placing debris near mailboxes, utility poles, or other structures like fire hydrants and gas meters. Keep all debris at least 3 feet away from obstacles to ensure collection.

Let’s work together to keep our community clean and safe!

FBMUD47 Residents,

To help prevent flooded streets and property damage, we ask your assistance in removing storm debris from around the storm water inlets near you.

This will help rain/storm water to drain freely and quickly from our streets. City has plans to collect storm debris from curbside in the upcoming days. Updates to come.

Hurricane Beryl has been tracked for days now with predictions varying and changing throughout its course over the eastern Caribbean, Jamaica, and Mexico. With a shift in direction, it is now headed for the Texas coast with a landfall predicted to be at Port Lavaca around 3 a.m. Monday (07/08/2024). Hurricane Beryl will be a high impact storm to southeast Texas with flooding rain, strong winds and storm surge.

NOAA NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER has posted: “Please heed the advice from your local emergency officials and complete your preparation plans today” (Sunday 07/07/2024).

FBMUD47 encourages all residents to stay aware of the dangers presented by Beryl and be prepared with supplies. Our website, https://www.fbmud47.org/, has more hurricane preparedness information on our homepage under News Archives/Hurricane Info. Neighborhood streets may have flooding as they are part of the storm sewer system. Keep trash cans, trash can lids and other loose debris or items secured and keep storm drain outlets free of debris. Park your vehicles on driveways rather than on the street.

Hurricane Beryl is considered a historical hurricane for several reasons. Beryl moved from a tropical depression to becoming a major hurricane quickly (about 42 hours). This major storm is also occurring not in the most active months for a hurricane (late July/early August) and usually Category 3 or stronger storms occur in September. The record warm temperatures of the ocean water warn of an atmosphere that will support strong hurricanes.
