Nothing to be alarmed of at this time but we want to remind you that the hurricane season officially began on June 1<sup>st<\/sup> and typically runs through November 30<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>Hurricane Harvey was the last hurricane to make landfall in Texas back in 2017. This storm was a category 4 and did severe damage to parts of the Texas coastline. The city of Houston and many of the surrounding cities experienced extreme flooding. San Antonio was fortunate to not experience what the coastline and the Houston area received but did receive some rain and strong wind gusts that blew down tree limbs.<\/p>\n<p>In the event of inclement or severe weather, you will want to monitor the weather stations (online, local tv stations, and radio). The University will keep you informed as well. First and foremost, if you have not done so already, make sure that you are registered with <a href=\"http:\/\/care.uthscsa.edu\/hscAlert.aspx\">HSC Alert<\/a>. This is a great way to stay connected to the University by receiving alerts about campus closures, delayed openings, etc. Next, check with your department\/lab to find out what procedures are in place for you in the event of bad weather.<\/p>\n<p>When you are out in the elements (rain, sleet, snow flurries\u2026yes, we said snow flurries and we can get them!) please make sure that you adhere to all signs regarding possible flood zones, evacuation routes, street closures, and <em>never<\/em> drive through any low water crossings. There are several parts of San Antonio that are known to flood, so be prepared to turnaround due to flooding when driving. For those who have school aged children, check local TV stations for school closures and delayed openings.<\/p>\n<p>It is also a good idea to have some emergency items in place in case you need them, such as bottled water, flashlight and batteries, and a medical kit. You may also refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ready.gov\/build-a-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ready.gov<\/a> \u201cBuild a Kit\u201d for a recommended list of emergency items that should be readily accessible at your home. We are simply providing you with some information and creating awareness. Bottom line is to play it safe, stay connected to our office and the University, and be prepared for when something, such as bad weather, should arise.<\/p>\n<p>Last, if we do experience bad weather, once the weather has passed, be sure to reconnect with your family and friends. They will want to know that you are safe.<\/p>\n<p>Want more information on hurricanes, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Hurricane Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are listening to the Scorpions, \u201cRock you Like a Hurricane\u201d then you got good taste in music and you probably know that it is hurricane season.
