BACKGROUND The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is seeking to remediate damages done at the Incident Support Base in Seguin, TX, during support of 2018 Hurricane Harvey (DR 4332) and 2021 Texas Winter Storms (DR 4586). Damage was done at Seguin Auxiliary Airfield (USAF), Auxiliary Airport Road (Guadalupe County) and Texas State Highway 90. Seguin Auxiliary Airfield is a pre-identified location for FEMA Region 6 to stage disaster support needs for the State of Texas. FEMA is allowed access to portions of the airfield that are no longer in use and maintain a specific distance from the main runway. After Hurricane Harvey, repairs were necessary to repair the road inside of Gate 1 and the intersection of Hwy 90 & Auxiliary Airport Road due to damages caused by 18-wheeler tractor trailers. The airfield also added Gate 3 and Gate 4 with a paved road, that gave direct access into the authorized areas. Gates 3 and 4 are the entrance and exits now utilized by FEMA. During the Texas Winter Storms of 2021 trucks caused damage to portions of the tarmac, ramps, runways and aprons of the Auxiliary Airfield. They also caused damage to Auxiliary Airport Road immediately outside of Gate’s 3 and 4, as well as the intersection of Auxiliary Airport Road and Highway 90. Damage was caused by the weight of the 18-wheelers and their tires ‘pushing’ the asphalt as they made turns.
