Greywings Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We are watching a big storm forming in the Gulf of Mexico so those of us near the coast of Mexico up through Louisiana and East to Florida will need to be ready. How many of you know what you might need to prepare yourselves and your pets for evacuation or that after storm time with no clean water and no electricity? Have water stored in your bathtub for flushing, buy water to drink and clean with, baby wipes come in handy. Protect your important paperwork in zip lock bags, have your nonperishable foods for you and pets off the ground in case of flooding. Have a plan if you may need to evacuate and listen to your local agencies for advice as to where. Keep your gas tanks full, have your travel or transport crates and cages ready and labeled with your name and contact information. Check on your elderly or ill neighbors to see if they may need help preparing. Towels, pillows, bleach or disinfectant wipes would be smart to have. Texas offer this help check to see what assistance is available where you are. Just reposting for the worst case: Do you or anyone you know need some assistance during times of an emergency event? You may register via the attached link or by dialing 211. You may register somone else. Be prepared to answer questions regarding emergency contacts and specific medical needs. *This is for all Texans. Information is forwarded to the appropriate Office of Emergency Management. Information provided is confidential. Who Should Register? People with Disabilities People with access and functional needs such as: People who have limited mobility People who have communication barriers People who require additional medical assistance during an emergency event People who require transportation assistance People who require personal care assistance https://www.dps.texas.gov/d...

birdhouse Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'm really glad that our Texas posse all seem to be from the Dallas/Ft Worth area. My heart & best wishes go out to all those people in Harvey's wake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
