It's hurricane season: Are you prepared?

As Tropical Storm Isaac churns in the Gulf of Mexico, you should be prepared for any emergency. Should severe weather threaten the Houston-Galveston area, HCC will monitor the situation closely. Students, faculty and staff can find updates and college information on hccs.edu.

In the event of a significant weather situation, stay alert and be aware of changes in the storm tracks and predicted landfalls. Do not rely on a single source of media. Have your home and family prepare NOW for tropical storms or hurricanes.

Even if the Houston-Galveston area does not receive a direct hit, the rain bands associated with a storm can bring heavy rains and flooding to our area. Do not wait for a storm to be in the Gulf of Mexico to prepare your family for the possibility of being without power for several days.

Be prepared throughout hurricane season with the food and supplies you’ll need to ride out any possible storms. Be proactive in your planning, the time for action is now.

Below are some safety tips to consider before, during and after a hurricane. The tips are recommended by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Weather Service.
