Hurricane Preparedness
Hurricane Season for the Atlantic Region and Gulf of Mexico Spans from June 1-November 30th. As residents of the Houston/Galveston area, we must take extra precautions as we prepare for this 6 month span. Do NOT wait to prepare for hurricane season until a hurricane forms...it is too late then!

US Coast Guard Auxiliary Hurricane Preparedness
The US Coast Guard will account for 100% of their members, including Auxiliary members, in the event a Hurricane threatens the area. If you are leaving the area at any point between 1 June and 30 November, it is necessary for you to communicate your plans via email or telephone to the Flotilla Commander, Vice Commander, or IPFC. Your report does not have to be detailed, just the following information:
- Where you are going.
- The dates you will be gone.
- A contact telephone number.
- The condition of you and your family (i.e. is everyone safe?)
- Are you staying where you are or will you evacuate?
- What is a telephone number at which you can be reached after the storm?
