Salam Alukum everyone
🚨keep a close eye on Tropical Storm Bertha.🚨
One thing we all learn living in Harris County is that tropical weather can change quickly, and the role of Harris County Judge is to act swiftly during emergencies to ensure our residents are safe and prepared when weather related incidents happen. That's why I'm encouraging everyone to take a little time now to prepare. A few simple steps today can make all the difference.
If you haven't already, now is a good time to:
Check your emergency kit and restock any supplies you may need. Visit this link for a list of materials you may need.
Charge your phones and any backup batteries.
Review your family's emergency plan. If you don’t already have one, visit this site for resources to help your family make a plan.
Be sure to stay informed by following updates from trusted local officials and emergency management. Harris County has resources to help you stay informed before severe weather arrives.
Text GULF2026 to 888777 to receive hurricane season updates and other important emergency information.
Looking for accessible alerts? Text READY to 281-609-9093 to sign up for ReadyHarris Accessible Alerts.
Most importantly, please don't wait until the last minute if local officials issue guidance or evacuation orders.
No matter what this week brings, I want you to know that my thoughts are with every family across Harris County. Please take care of yourselves, check in on your neighbors, and don't hesitate to help someone who may need an extra hand.
We'll get through this together like we always do.
Stay safe,
