Hurricane Evacuations and Special Health Care Needs Residents along the Gulf Coast who have special health care or transportation needs are being encouraged to make extra efforts to prepare for hurricane season, which officially began June 1 and will continue through November 30. The Governor’s Office, the Department of State Health Services, UT Center for Space Research, and Texas 2-1-1 Information Referral Network have worked together to develop a program to better assist Texans who will require transportation or special assistance during an evacuation. The intent of this effort is to encourage individual citizens to identify themselves and simply acknowledge that they need assistance in evacuation. The state has created a transportation assistance registry to collect information about Texans who will need special assistance during an evacuation. Citizens with special needs can call 2-1-1, and the information they share will be provided to local emergency officials. When Hurricanes Are On the Way, Don’t

Database information will be fully secure and only accessible to emergency officials. Information provided by the Governor’s Division of Emergency Management |
