Hurricane Preparedness
Preparing for hurricane season should begin by making an evacuation plan, preparing an emergency kit and learning evacuation routes well in advance.
Hurricane Preparedness Matters Throughout Texas
Evacuation zone information: To find out whether your residence is located in an evacuation zone, dial 2-1-1.
If you have special health care needs, register by dialing 2-1-1: Gulf coast residents with special health care needs (including those who are disabled or medically fragile) who live in evacuation zones and do not have friends or family to help in an evacuation should register for a ride in advance by dialing 2-1-1. The 2-1-1 registry must be dialed IN ADVANCE. It is confidential. Do not wait until a storm is in the Gulf to register for assistance.
If you need transportation, register with 2-1-1: If you do not have a car or other vehicle, and you cannot get a ride with friends, neighbors or family, register IN ADVANCE for a ride by dialing 2-1-1.
