Greetings,

Each year, the Texas Division of Emergency Management, the National Weather Service, Emergency Management Coordinators and officials with local jurisdictions, join together to recognize Hurricane Preparedness Week.

Hurricane Preparedness Week in Texas has been set for May 22 – 28, 2011.

This is an excellent time to build public awareness and remind residents living in evacuation zones to learn their evacuation routes in advance. It’s also a time to encourage the general public to:

 Double check emergency supply kits for themselves;

We want to encourage the public to make plans for what they will do before and after a storm.

 Thank you for everything you do.
