Tropical Disturbance 7: Inclement Weather Update no. 1

June 14, 2015

Sunday, June 14, 5:37 p.m.

Texas Children’s leadership and the Department of Emergency Management have been closely monitoring Tropical Disturbance no. 7, which may reach our area within the next couple days, and we are taking all appropriate precautions according to our response plan.

Texas Children’s Emergency Management team is urging employees to pay attention to local media reports concerning weather conditions, as the Houston area may receive significant rainfall with subsequent flooding in the next few days, similar to what our area experienced Memorial Day weekend.
Staff members should be prepared for 1-to-1 replacement if travel conditions are unsafe in and around the Medical Center. Please plan for additional travel time, identify alternate routes, and ensure your personal emergency preparedness plans are in place.
More information, including the latest weather, traffic and road conditions are available on the Emergency Management Connect site and the National Weather Service website.
