Hurricane Season is here and the Texas Division of Emergency Management urges residents to take note of hurricane preparedness guidelines. First and foremost, when a hurricane threatens, listen for instructions, and if an evacuation in your area is called for, get going without delay.
The Texas Division of Emergency Management also offers these important guidelines:
- Discuss evacuation plans before 1 is ordered.
- Monitor national weather radio and television broadcasts.
- Prepare an emergency supply kit.
- Learn evacuation routes.
- Dial 2-1-1 to register with the State of Texas if you have special healthcare needs or if you simply do not have transportation.
