As the hurricane season approaches our friends at Reliant Energy would like to remind you to bring loose, lightweight objects inside that could become projectiles in high winds (e.g., patio furniture, garbage cans); anchor objects that would be unsafe to bring inside (e.g., propane tanks); and take some time to trim or remove trees close enough to fall on the building.

Sign up for the Reliant EcoShare℠ program! In partnership with EarthShare Texas , you'll help fund more than 30 local environmental organizations for a Texas-sized impact!
