“With the 2012 hurricane season upon us, I encourage all Texans to take the necessary steps to keep themselves and their families safe. Prepare an emergency kit, make a plan, learn your community's evacuation routes, and always heed the warnings of your local leaders and FEMA. Information on disaster assistance can be found by visiting disasterassistance.gov, ready.gov, or  by calling 1-800-621-FEMA. Texans can also get the latest updates and register for disaster assistance on their mobile devices using FEMA’s mobile application, available at m.fema.gov. By taking commonsense steps we can ensure the safety of our families and ourselves this hurricane season.” - Sen. John Cornyn

The Federal Emergency Management Agency's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.
