The City of La Porte Office of Emergency Management works with local industry and surrounding agencies to mitigate natural and man-made disasters. We encourage preparedness for the citizens of La Porte and those who work in our community by providing education on how to best prepare for all types of emergencies. In addition, we work with organizations throughout the city to plan and train for emergency situations, as well as to coordinate response and recovery efforts when an emergency occurs. Most importantly, we help the citizens of La Porte and the surrounding communities recover when disaster strikes.
	Hurricane season begins June 1st and runs through November 30th.  As we continue to recover from hurricane Ike, the City of La Porte urges all of its citizens to take action to better prepare your families and homes.  Hurricane hazards come in many forms: storm surge, high winds, tornadoes, and flooding.  This is why it is critical for your family to have a plan that takes each of these hazards into account.  There are 3 simple steps that you can take to help your family prepare for a hurricane: prepare a family disaster plan, assemble an emergency supply kit and stay informed before, during, and after the storm.  Click here for more information.
