2006 Hurricane Season
Here are 2 documents that people will need for the 2006 Hurricane Season in Houston Tx.
The 2005 Hurricane Season went down as one of the most disastrous seasons on record. Numerous long-standing records were broken, including the costliest hurricane on record when Hurricane Katrina struck South Florida and the middle Gulf Coast states at the end of August. Katrina killed more than 1,300 people. With Katrina fresh on the minds of citizens in Southeast Texas, Hurricane Rita became a serious threat to our area less than one month later. Although Rita eventually made landfall just to our east in the Texas-Louisiana border area, massive evacuations, along with a shortage in gasoline and other supplies, occurred across Southeast Texas.
A convention was held recently in Houston on the upcoming 2006 Hurricane season. The document is a PDF that goes over the highlights from that convention. It mainly talks about the plans for evacuating Houston, if needed, this year and any upcoming years.

The second document is a detailed map of the routes that people would need to take if a mandantory evacuation is ordered like it was last year for Rita.
