HOUSTON — A severe snowstorm in January cost Houston, $6.5 million spending to manage the crisis. The storm, which brought freezing temperatures for six days, led the city to open 10 warming centers for vulnerable residents.

These centers provided shelter, warmth, food, water, and sanitation to over 1,300 people during the storm.

A large portion of the $6.5 million was spent on operating the centers, including staffing and essential services.

The city also incurred costs related to road maintenance and emergency services to manage hazardous conditions, such as ice and snow.

Police and fire departments worked closely to respond to emergencies like accidents and health crises, ensuring public safety.

The storm also forced business and school closures, adding to the broader disruption.

Despite the financial strain, officials stressed that the priority was ensuring the safety of residents.
