Here's a map for Austin Water which shows which areas (Green) have safe water 
and other areas (Orange) that are still under boil water notice:
https://austinwater.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=78f53b392a0a4eb2869b0e9fe127c92c

Here's a full list of other counties/cities besides Austin/Travis county 
proper:

Also, here are free water distribution centers in the Austin area today:

If you're looking to give back or in need of help, here is a great resource on 
places offering free meals, free water, warming shelters, and ways to help your 
neighbors: 
https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/02/15/how-to-help-how-get-food-shelter-resources-during-texas-winter-storm/4486821001/

A quick note, if you had to pitch everything in your fridge/freezer, check your 
homeowners or renters insurance as they generally have food spoilage coverage 
with no deductible (since food is a basic need).

Thanks,
Derek

I can't tell from the map if we are still affected by the boil water notice.  
I'm assuming we are until I hear otherwise.

Thanks,
Sheila
