| | | | | | | | | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: | Texas hurricane season officially begins June 1st and ends November 30th. Texas has 624 miles of Texas Gulf coast line and areas hundreds of miles inland being vulnerable to the devastating effects of a hurricane or tropical storm. Colorado State University, the leading forecaster, predicts that this season will be a more active season than last year, bringing 14 names storms, 7 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes, category 3 or stronger. From our experience with Hurricane Harvey, the best defense is preparedness and public education. This Proclamation is to proclaim May 6-12, 2018, as Hurricane Awareness and urges residents to participate in hurricane preparedness activities and to pay close attention to hurricane watches and warning instructions.
