As the City of Houston monitors the potential tropical storm projected for this week, the Mayor’s Office assures the public that all necessary precautions are being taken to safeguard both residents and infrastructure.
Over the past few days, key city departments—including the Houston Fire and Police Departments, Public Works, Solid Waste, Homeland Security, and other essential agencies—have reviewed emergency plans and are prepared to activate them if needed.
City officials are working together to position resources and ensure full preparedness for any scenario.
The city’s readiness efforts include pre-positioning generators, deploying high-water rescue vehicles, and increasing staffing levels across critical departments. Collaboration with community partners is also underway to maximize the efficiency of the response, should the situation escalate.
Public safety remains the top priority, and residents are encouraged to make plans to protect themselves and their loved ones.
Further updates will be provided as necessary, and the public is urged to follow guidance from local officials. Together, Houston will weather this storm.
