Harris County explores giving workers paid mental health days

Judge Lina Hidalgo says Harris County is exploring giving workers a new type of paid time off for mental health, adding that employees need days to "clear their mind."
Why this matters in Spring
For Spring residents, the updated FEMA flood maps have significant implications, particularly given the area's history of flooding and its location near the Grand Parkway and Interstate 45. The Harris County Flood Control District's efforts to keep residents informed are crucial, as changes to floodplain boundaries can impact property values and insurance rates. Residents in neighborhoods like Old Town Spring, which has experienced flooding in the past, should pay close attention to the proposed map changes and attend one of the virtual public meetings to provide feedback. The district's interactive online mapping tool allows residents to search their address and review floodplain changes, making it easier to stay informed and engaged in the process. By participating in the review process, Spring residents can help shape future flood mitigation planning and project development in their community.
