Disaster Preparedness

Below are resources to assist residents of the 2nd Congressional District and Southeast Texans during hurricane season. My office is always ready and willing to help; however, please note that we are not ourselves a relief agency. When a natural disaster occurs, my office works with federal, state and local government officials and tries to restore normalcy as fast as possible. However, preparedness is the best line of defense and the most efficient way to help return our community to normal in a timely manner.
