HURRICANE SEASON IS HERE. ARE YOU READY?
June 1st marks the beginning of hurricane season, and now is the time to prepare, not when a storm is already in the Gulf.
Living along the Texas Gulf Coast means we know how quickly weather can change. A little preparation today can go a long way toward protecting your family, home, and peace of mind when severe weather threatens.
🆘 Assemble an Emergency Supply Kit
Make sure you have enough essentials to last at least 72 hours:
• Water (1 gallon per person, per day)
• Shelf-stable food and snacks
• Prescription medications and medical supplies
• Flashlights and spare batteries
• First aid kit
• Phone chargers and backup battery packs
• Pet food, medications, and supplies
🧭 Know Your Evacuation Plan
Don’t wait until a storm is approaching to figure out where you’re going.
• Know if you’re in an evacuation zone
• Plan your evacuation routes ahead of time
• Have a destination and backup plan in place
📋 Review Your Insurance Coverage
Take a few minutes to understand your policies before hurricane season is in full swing.
• Review homeowners, renters, and flood insurance coverage
• Confirm deductibles and policy limits
• Remember that flood damage is generally not covered under standard homeowners insurance
📜 Secure Important Documents
Protect documents you’ll need if an emergency occurs.
• Insurance policies
• Identification documents
• Medical records
• Property information and contacts
Store them in a waterproof container and keep digital backups whenever possible.
🏡 Get Your Home Storm-Ready
Simple maintenance can help reduce damage during severe weather.
• Trim trees and remove dead branches
• Secure patio furniture, grills, and outdoor decorations
• Test generators and operate them safely outdoors
• Inspect storm shutters and hurricane protection systems
• Clean gutters and drainage areas
ℹ️ Stay Connected and Informed
Follow reliable weather and emergency management sources throughout hurricane season.
A few helpful resources include:
▪️ Seabrook Emergency Management
▪️ ReadyHarris
▪️ Texas Division of Emergency Management
▪️ National Weather Service Houston/Galveston
Make sure you have multiple ways to receive alerts if power or internet service is interrupted.
🧑🧑🧒🧒 Check on Family, Friends, and Neighbors
Take a moment to check in with elderly neighbors, family members, or anyone who may need additional assistance preparing for a storm.
If someone has medical needs or may require evacuation assistance, consider registering them through the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry (STEAR).
🚨 Don’t Forget Your Roof
Your roof is your home’s first line of defense during a hurricane.
If you’ve noticed missing shingles, signs of leaks, storm damage, or if it’s simply been a while since your last inspection, hurricane season is a good time to have it evaluated before severe weather arrives.
Remember: The best time to prepare is before a storm has a name. A few hours of preparation today can save days, weeks, or even months of stress later.
