Safety Tips
- Evacuations: If you live in a mandatory evacuation area, leave immediately. Consider evacuating if you're in a voluntary evacuation zone to avoid being stranded.
- Avoid Driving: Do not drive through flooded areas. Floodwaters can be deceptively strong and may sweep vehicles away.
- Shelters: Identify the nearest shelter. Several shelters are open in the affected counties, including in Montgomery and Harris.
- Home Safety: If you cannot evacuate, ensure you have sufficient water, food, and medical supplies for several days. Keep your mobile devices charged for updates and alerts.
- Report Damages: Report any property damage to local authorities and your insurance company. This is crucial for receiving state and federal assistance.
- Do not hesitate to ask for assistance: Consider hiring a public adjuster to help assess damages and negotiate with your insurance company for fair compensation. Public adjusters work on your behalf and can be particularly useful if your claim is complex or you feel your insurer’s offer is insufficient. Ensure they are licensed and reputable before hiring.
