GALVESTON, Texas — Authorities laid out a plan Friday to let about 45,000 evacuees back onto Galveston Island for good.
It will be another week before that happens because crews were only beginning to get basic services restored.
Residents will be allowed to return in phases, starting from the least-damaged areas, primarily behind the seawall on the east side of the island, then gradually out to the heavily damaged west end, said City Manager Steve LeBlanc.
