Hurricane Response Plan

The Hurricane Response Plan guides the actions of Fish and Wildlife Service employees in response to a significant hurricane making landfall along the Texas Gulf Coast.

The objective of the Hurricane Response Plan is to outline general procedures to be followed before, during, and after hurricanes and associated natural events. This plan focuses on the field-level activities required after significant or severe hurricane damage and includes establishing communication channels, effectively dispatching emergency response resources, and coordinating planned recovery efforts for Service assets.
