Input needed for hazard mitigation plan
Hays County and the City of Buda are looking for your input. The county is conducting a survey about your perceptions and opinions regarding natural hazards (tornadoes, wildfires, floods) in Hays County. The results of the survey will help Hays County identify and prioritize actions to reduce the risks and losses associated with these hazards. The survey will also help with local natural hazard mitigation planning in Hays County. Want to participate? Check out the Buda city website at ci.buda.tx.us for more information.
Burn ban reinstated
On Jan. 24, the Hays County Commissioners Court placed the unincorporated areas (including extra territorial jurisdictions) of the county under an immediate burn ban following a report from Fire Marshal Clint Browning. Charcoal, wood and gas grills with lids are exempt from the ban, but burning in “burn barrels” or fire pits (including ones with screens on the top) is not allowed. Grilling of any kind is prohibited at Hays County parks under a burn ban. Most cities already prohibit outdoor burning, but residents within city limits should check their city ordinances.
CAMPO regional plan open houses
The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization will hold a series of open houses across the Austin area to gather public input on the organization’s Regional Active Transportation Plan, with two of the meetings being held in Hays County.

The plan to be presented will develop a blueprint for a safe and easy-to-use active transportation network of trails, sidewalks, bike lanes and streets for the six-county region.
