HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS
Governor Greg Abbott has raised awareness about the dangers of hurricanes and the many precautions Texans can take as hurricane season approaches.
"Due to the size and geography of our state, Texas is particularly susceptible to the devastation of hurricanes," said Governor Abbott. "Texans are encouraged to educate themselves on proactive measures they can take ahead of hurricane season to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their property. By taking time to prepare for any devastating and powerful storms that may reach our shores, we can help foster a safer and more secure future for our state."
The 2023 Atlantic Hurricane Season runs June 1 through November 30. Texans can visit the Texas Hurricane Center for information on steps to take before, during, and after a hurricane.
