Prepare Now for Hurricane Season

As Tropical Storm Alex entered the Gulf of Mexico in late June,
the Houston Housing Authority is urging residents to prepare for
the hurricane season by offering the following preparedness
tips:
- Prepare a 72-hour emergency kit. Stock up on
at least a 3-day supply of water and canned goods, battery-operated
radio, flashlights and extra batteries, and other necessities.
Don't forget to store more special-need items such as medications,
baby diapers, and contact lenses, and a first-aid kit.
- Make a plan and discuss it with
your family, employer, and property manager. The decision
to evacuate or not should be planned in advance and discussed with
family members, work supervisors, and property managers. Houston
Housing Authority residents are asked to fill out forms at property
management offices to indicate if they plan to evacuate, and to
report any special health needs and update emergency contact
information.
- Call 2-1-1 to register for
evacuation transportation if needed in case of a disaster.
The helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help
individuals in need of evacuation help, especially persons with
disabilities.
- Securely store outdoor furniture, hanging plants,
garbage cans, toys, and other items on porches or
balconies. Severe storms bring strong winds that can
launch outdoor items in the air, possibly harming people or
damaging cars and homes.
- Write down direct phone numbers to emergency
responders. 9-1-1 should be called first in case of
an emergency, but 9-1-1- operators may be overloaded in case of a
disaster. Keep a list of phone numbers to the nearest fire
stations, law enforcement - whether HPD, sheriff or constables - to
reach them directly if needed.
