PREPARE FOR TROPICAL STORM HANNAH

Weather forecasts predict that the Greater Houston area will see a significant amount of rain over the weekend as a result of Tropical Storm Hannah. To minimize any negative impact to our community, each of us has to do our part.

Residents are asked to:

  • Check local ditches, inlets and gutters to make sure they are free from litter and debris. 
  • Secure any items which might be washed or blown into the storm water system.
  • Call any street or structural flooding reports in to 311.
Some areas in Houston are more prone to flooding than others. Here is a map that details areas likely to flood during a severe weather event. Please avoid these areas as much as possible.
