Flood Safety and Recovery


Texas Hurricane Center - June 1 thru November 30. Click Here Resources and Information.

 

Safety is the number one concern when it comes to protecting citizens of Wharton. In order to be adequately prepared for storm events, citizens need to be made aware of some information. It is important to know the difference between flood WATCH and a flood WARNING.

 

A flash flood WATCH is flooding that is possible in your area. A flash flood WARNING is flooding that is already occurring or will occur soon in your area. The best time to make sure you are ready for the next storm event is before one is headed your way. Have the following emergency supplies available in order to be prepared:

 

  • Non-perishable foods and water containers
  • More than one flashlight and extra batteries
  • First-aid kit, along with any prescription medicine
  • Extra plywood (preferably heavy, pre-cut, and pre-drilled) to over windows.
  • Plastic sheeting (for water leaks)
  • Camera for photos of damage
  • Cell Phone with chargers
  • Copies of personal documents (birth certificates, insurance policies, pertinent medical information, deed/lease to home)
  • Extra cash
