With 2021’s Winter Storm Uri still fresh in memory, lessons from that disaster can help guide planning for the next.

A seasonal report from ERCOT shows the grid should hold up under normal winter conditions. But there are scenarios in which the grid operator would need to institute blackouts like it did in 2021.

A federally funded program in Dallas County is helping low-income residents weatherize their homes to protect themselves against extreme weather events — like the catastrophic 2021 Texas blackout.

Manjula Shah died from hypothermia during the freeze. Her husband, Lalji, died four months later. She's in the state's official tally of freeze-related deaths. Like hundreds of other Texans, he is not.

City of Carrollton employees Jesika Fisher and Kelli Lewis use humor and pop culture to engage with residents via the city's social media accounts.

Kelcy Warren, the Dallas pipeline tycoon and top donor to Gov. Greg Abbott, is suing O’Rourke over his criticism of the windfall profits that Warren’s company made after the 2021 winter storm.

After half of a Houston family was found dead from carbon monoxide poisoning, reporting by ProPublica, The Texas Tribune and NBC News revealed that a fire crew had failed to enter the house to check on them. A firefighter has now been disciplined.

Preparations for the next extreme weather spell and potential power outages started in North Texas as soon as the lights flipped back on last February. Homeowners stocked up on disaster prep tools, and city officials retooled their communication strategies after the crisis.
