Emergency Management

SIGN UP FOR EMERGENCY & OUTREACH COMMUNICATION FROM THE CITY OF TAYLOR LAKE VILLAGE (Black Board Connect)

 If you live in an area threatened by storm surge – an EVACUATION ZONE – discuss evacuation plans with your family. Check with city or county officials to find out if your home is in an evacuation zone.

Make a checklist of preparations to be made before an evacuation and go over it with your family. Review it again when a storm is in the Gulf of Mexico.

If you plan to stay in a hotel or motel, make reservations and confirm your reservations before you leave. If you plan to stay in a shelter, bring what you need to be comfortable, including bedding and toys for kids. 

Prepare an emergency kit for your pets and a plan for how to care for them when you are on the road and in a shelter or motel. Do not leave your pets behind!

“Refill and re-check supplies after every storm,” said Harris County Emergency Management Coordinator Mark Sloan. “Depending on storm damage, some people may be able to return home in a matter of days, for others re-entry may take longer.”

Finally, stay informed by monitoring the news media.  Local officials will provide information about current conditions, evacuations and re-entry.
