Following the disaster that was Hurricane Katrina (which was developing on this date in 2005), NOAA prepared a series of information sheets for residents to use. Each sheet provides local phone numbers and contacts for emergency managers and other resource centers in their areas in case of extreme weather. With Tropical Depression Harvey restrengthening in the Gulf of Mexico and expected to bring flooding rains to Texas and Louisiana (and maybe other areas depending on its path), it’s a good time to make sure you have the information you need in case of extreme weather from hurricanes or other deadly weather situations. You can read more about the sheets and find links at https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/preparing-extreme-weather-information-sheets.
