Emergency coordinator urges AlertLP signup and basic preparedness: "It only takes one storm"
Summary
Emergency management coordinator Johnny Morales encouraged residents to prepare go-kits, register for AlertLP emergency messages and use medical ID features on phones, stressing that even a quiet hurricane season can produce a damaging storm.
Johnny Morales, La Porte's emergency management coordinator, told the assembled residents that meteorologists were forecasting a slightly below-average storm season but cautioned that "it only takes 1 storm." He urged residents to prepare go-kits, sign up for AlertLP emergency notifications at AlertLP.com and to use the smartphone medical/health ID features so first responders have critical information.
Morales said printed disaster guides and QR codes were available in the packet and that residents who need help signing up or have special registration needs (seniors or people with vulnerabilities) should call city staff or dial 211 to enter the state emergency assistance registry.
