In addition, the abundance of trees on the lots, along with all the overhead electrical utilities increase the risk of power outages from branches falling on power lines. Although prolonged outages have not been an issue in the past, it is unknown if icy roads could impact the ability of Pedernales Electric Cooperative from being able to respond to a power outage in the community. It is unknown how many private residents have emergency generator power. The majority of surface power lines in Buda pose a vulnerability due to City of Buda the impact on homes and businesses during cold temperatures, when an accumulation of ice and snow on branches could cause them to fall on surface lines. The bridges in Buda are owned by TxDOT and the State handles sanding efforts during ice events. They are normally prompt in sanding efforts, however there are Alzheimer clinics and nursing homes located near these bridges and accessing these locations during severe winter weather could pose a challenge for first responders. The community has a turf spreader that could be used for sanding efforts, but no staff are dedicated for spreading sand. Additionally, there is a senior van owned by the City that shuttles elderly residents to different locations and cannot operate during winter events. 41
