Aransas Pass, Texas

Hurricane Harvey

Because such a vast area was damaged by Hurricane Harvey, LeadersLink held a disaster recovery forum in October after the storm in Aransas Pass for city and county leaders from throughout the Texas Coastal Bend.  The team who led their communities through Hurricane Katrina discussed what worked and what didn’t, strategies for dealing with FEMA and insights into unexpected post-disaster challenges.  Participating were former St. Tammany Parish President Kevin Davis, former Gulfport, MS Mayor Brent Warr, former Waveland, MS Mayor Tommy Longo and former Biloxi, MS Director of Administration David Staehling.
