If you need shelter…
The American Red Cross Texas Gulf Coast has set up a 24/7 shelter at the Harlingen Convention Center, 701 Harlingen Heights Drive.
If you need to report damage…
(From Mayor Sepulveda) Please report property damage sustained during the recent rain and flooding by submitting an online survey on the individual state of Texas assessment tool, iSTAT (damage.tdem.texas.gov).
(From City of Harlingen)
For Harlingen residents who have experienced damage, we ask that you please send photos and videos of the damage to [email protected]. Your photos and videos will help us navigate the recovery process and will be reported to FEMA for further assistance.
If you need to drive…
Google Maps can help identify road hazards at a CITY level; www.drivetexas.org can help with road conditions (STATE highways only).
If you had to abandon your vehicle:
(From HPD) Once the waters have receded and it is safe to retrieve your vehicle, we kindly ask that you return to remove it from the area. We have already had to tow several vehicles, but this action was necessary due to vehicles blocking roadways and obstructing lanes of travel.
If you are trying to fly out of Valley International Airport Harlingen…
Fully operational as of Monday 10 am.
I will pin this post and update it as I gather more information.
