Thank you for your proactive efforts to take the needed precautions for Hurricane Laura!

Even though Houston was not heavily impacted by the storm, there are still many that were impacted or remain in the path of the hurricane.  Our thoughts and prayers are with those impacted.

​

We are still in Hurricane season and tropical storms and hurricane weather are still a factor in the Houston area.  Always have a plan and always be prepared!

DISASTER PLAN

  • Determine escape routes from your home and places to meet. 

  • Have an out-of-state friend as a family contact, so all your family members have a single point of contact.

  • Make a plan now for what to do with your pets if you need to evacuate. 

  • Post emergency telephone numbers by your phones and make sure your children know how and when to call 911.

  • Check your insurance coverage - flood damage is not usually covered by renters insurance.

  • Stock non-perishable emergency supplies and a Disaster Supply Kit. 

  • Use a NOAA weather radio. Remember to replace its battery every 6 months, as you do with your smoke detectors.

  • Develop a family hurricane preparedness plan before an actual storm threatens your area.

 If you are required to evacuate, then it is important to consider the following points:

  • If ordered to evacuate, do not wait or delay your departure.

  • If possible, leave before local officials issue an evacuation order for your area. Even a slight delay in starting your evacuation will result in significantly longer travel times as traffic congestion worsens.

  • Select an evacuation destination that is nearest to your home, preferably in the same county, or at least minimize the distance over which you must travel in order to reach your intended shelter location.

  • In choosing your destination, keep in mind that the hotels and other sheltering options in most inland metropolitan areas are likely to be filled very quickly in a large, multi-county hurricane evacuation event.
