- Find an open shelter near you by texting SHELTER and your zip
code to 4FEMA (43362). You can also use the FEMA mobile app. FEMA is also
providing resources for people with disabilities, access and
functional needs on
its website.
- If you're considering evacuating your home, the Houston
Chronicle is compiling a
map of flooded streets.
- Several counties have issued mandatory or voluntary
evacuations. Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott is keeping a running list of those counties on his
website. Keep in
mind, the director of the federal Hurricane Harvey relief efforts
has warned people in flooded regions not to get into their cars,
which could put more lives at risk and drain resources that could
be used to rescue citizens elsewhere.
