Preparing for Hurricane Season: June 1–November 30
- Evacuation Planning: When a hurricane threatens, listen for instructions from local officials. If they call for an evacuation in your area, get going without delay.
- Discuss evacuation plans with your family before hurricane season, June 1–November 30. Make a checklist of what you need to do before you leave town and review it.
- Monitor NOAA Weather Radio, local TV and radio broadcasts during storm season.
- Prepare an emergency supply kit that includes a radio, flashlight, extra batteries, extra eyeglasses, bottled water, nonperishable food, dry clothes, bedding, insurance information, important documents, medications, copies of prescriptions and special products for babies, seniors, medically fragile family members and pets.
- Learn evacuation routes before storm season. When there’s a hurricane in the Gulf, keep your gas tank as full as possible. Expect traffic delays in an evacuation.
- Register with the State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry online at stear.dps.texas.gov or dial 211 to register if you have a disability or medical needs, or if you simply do not have transportation. Gulf Coast residents in evacuation zones who have a disability or medical needs who do not have friends or family to help or do not have transportation should register with STEAR in advance.
