<br />property damage if an aircraft crashed in these areas, even if the aircraft were not a passenger
<br />aircraft.
<br />
<br />The Hays County Mitigation Planning Committee classified transportation accident as
<br />"substantial" in severity and "highly likely" in frequency. A transportation accident is often
<br />associated with a HAZMA T incident or release that can be either rail, truck or aircraft.
<br />
<br />Hays County is bisected by IH-35. The County is also served by Hwy 290 (SH-290) and
<br />numerous Farm-to-Market Roads. Hays County is located midway between Austin and San
<br />Antonio, which is a major railroad route in Texas.
<br />
<br />The City of Austin Bergstrom International Airport is located in southern Travis County near
<br />the Hays County boundary, and the San Marcos Airport, formerly an Army Air Field, is
<br />located east of IH-35.
<br />
<br />Transportation infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and airports may sustain damage during
<br />emergency situations, making it difficult to use some of the transportation assets that are
<br />available. When carrying out emergency transportation activities, immediate needs must be
<br />considered first followed by continuing requirements. Immediate transportation needs
<br />normally involve the evacuation of people, including residents of special facilities, from risk
<br />areas. Continuing transportation needs typically involve the movement of relief supplies,
<br />equipment, and emergency workers during response and recovery operations.

<br />Hazard Identification:
<br />Severe summer heat is characterized by a combination of a very high temperatures and
<br />exceptionally humid conditions. When persisting over a period of time, it is called a heat wave.
<br />Many areas of the country, including Hays County, are susceptible to heat waves.
