FEMA - SMART PLANNING FOR
HURRICANE SEASON

 

    TEXAS CITY, Texas – Hurricane season officially begins June 1 and continues through November 30. Federal and state emergency officials remind Texans to start planning early to protect families and property.
    “If you live in an area threatened by storm surge – an EVACUATION ZONE – discuss evacuation plans with your family,” said Brad Harris, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s federal coordinating officer for Hurricane Ike.
    “Check with city or county officials to find out if your home is in an evacuation zone,” reminds Joan Haun, the Governor’s Division of Emergency Management’s state coordinating officer for Hurricane Ike. “When a storm is in the Gulf, monitor TV and radio broadcasts for instructions from local officials.”
    When making a family plan for any hazard, choose a place to meet outside of the potential disaster area.  Give all family members the name and phone number of someone outside your city or state. Anyone separated from the group should call that number to let others know where they are. Learn to use the American Red Cross “Safe and Well” Web site: <disastersafe.redcross.org>
    Put an emergency supply kit together now. Refill and re-check supplies AFTER EVERY STORM. After the storm hits, you may be able to return home in a matter of days. But re-entry may take much longer, depending on storm damage. Because hurricanes are extremely dangerous and unpredictable, officials plan for storms to be one category worse than predicted. So should you.
    •Learn evacuation routes BEFORE storm season. If possible, practice driving the route out of town ahead of time. Make sure you have a full tank of gas before you leave. Expect delays and longer drive-times than normal. Just like any rush hour, traffic congestion in an evacuation is unavoidable.
    •An emergency supply kit includes: NOAA weather radio and batteries, flashlight and batteries, extra eye glasses, bottled water, non-perishable food, dry clothes, bedding, medications and copies of prescriptions, special products for babies, elderly and medically fragile family members, cash, credit cards, photo IDs, important documents and records, proof of residence and information your agent will require to process insurance claims.
    •Make a checklist of preparations to be made before an evacuation and go over it with your family. Review it again when a storm is in the Gulf of Mexico.
    •If you plan to stay in a hotel or motel, make reservations and confirm your reservations before you leave. If you plan to stay in a shelter, bring what you need to be comfortable, including bedding and toys for kids. Shelters will vary in what they offer evacuees.
    •Contact your local office of emergency management to get information on making arrangements for anyone in your household who may need special assistance during an evacuation.
    •Prepare an emergency kit for your pets and a plan for how to care for them when you are on the road and in a shelter or motel. Do not leave your pets behind.
    Disaster recovery assistance is available without regard to race, color, religion, nationality, sex, age, disability, English proficiency or economic status.  If you or someone you know has been discriminated against, call FEMA toll-free at 800-621-FEMA (3362). For TTY call 800-462-7585.
    FEMA leads and supports the nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation, to reduce the loss of life and property and protect the nation from all hazards including natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disaster.
