Baytown remembers Hurricane Alicia and plans for future safety
On the anniversary of Alicia the Baytown area reflects on the storm’s devastation with 750000 Houston area homes left without power at peak and Baytown’s Baytown Nature Center rising from the wreckage. Officials recall policy shifts, FEMA buyouts, and long-term flood mitigation while urging evacuation planning and updated routes. The Berkman guide notes FEMA and ARCO efforts to restore marshland and a $3 center fee for visitors amid ongoing upgrades and public education.
