Preparedness Week in Houston. As we prepare for this upcoming hurricane
season, the City of Houston offers the following tips to help you and your
family prepare:
Know Your Risk
Knowing your level of risk ahead of time will help you make better choices
when the storm comes. Visit the Houston Storm Risk Calculator at
houstonstormrisk.org to find out what your level of risk is for flooding,
storm surge, wind damage and power outages.
If you live in a hurricane evacuation area, know your zone, and be prepared
to evacuate when the order is given.
If you don't live in an evacuation area, you most likely would not have to
evacuate for a storm, so make preparations early to ride out a storm in your
home.
Get Prepared
You should be prepared to evacuate or to shelter in place for a hurricane.
Take a moment to review your emergency plan with your family, as well as
make sure you have all the necessary supplies to be able to sustain yourself
without electricity and running water for 5-7 days. Download a copy of the
City of Houston Disaster Preparedness Guide for information on what should
be in your plan and your kit.
Part of preparing is making sure that your insurance adequately covers your
property. Homeowners and renters insurance doesn't normally cover damage
from flooding, so make sure you have a flood insurance policy. Visit
FloodSmart.gov for information on how to find the right policy for you.
Be Informed
During hurricane season, it's always a good idea to pay attention to
developing storms. Pay attention to local television and radio weather
broadcasts, as well as the National Hurricane Center website (hurricanes.gov
) for up-to-date information on storms forming in the Atlantic and Gulf.
Sign up for AlertHouston emergency notifications from the City of Houston by
visiting alerts.houstonoem.org. When storms threaten Houston, the City
will use this system to tell you about steps you can take to prepare, and
provide up-to-date information on conditions and evacuations. Emergency
information is always available online at houstontx.gov/emergency.
2014 Hurricane Workshop
On Saturday, May 31, from 9:00am to 2:00pm, the City of Houston, CenterPoint
Energy, Weather Center Houston, and the National Weather Service will host
the Hurricane Workshop at the George R. Brown Convention Center. This
annual event provides Houston residents an opportunity to learn about
hurricanes, get information on how to prepare, and take steps to be ready,
all in a fun, family-friendly environment.
The event includes free giveaways and door prizes. Register to attend today
at hurricaneworkshop.org.
