Explaination of Hurricane markers

Okay, so I became curious. This is what was explained to me...

5 years ago after Hurricane Rita the State of Texas and FEMA asked BV and other communities to place these markers as reminders that we should evacuate if a storm comes. The city council and mayor at the time (5 years ago) said okay. It just so happens that they are just now getting around to getting them up.

It doesn't have anything to do with insurance as I first thought.
I BELIEVE Vista View will write an article on it, but I am not sure. You can always go to city hall and ask about them OR go to the next city council meeting and protest.

Hope it helps.

my understanding of it is that FEMA and the State paid for it, I am not sure why 3. Although, it does seem excesive. They have all the info at City hall. I am sure they would be happy to answer any question the citizens have. When you find out why 3 could you pass it along?
Thanks

To the best of my understanding, it is a reminder of how far the water will come out. It is to promote evacuation when a storm comes.
