Castro County hurricane guide

Castro County, in the Texas Panhandle, is far from the coast. Its county website does not have an emergency management page, so call the County Judge's Office at the courthouse in Dimmitt with questions. Heavy rain, including from the remains of a tropical storm, can cause flash flooding, so never drive through flooded roads.

Evacuation centers

Open only when announced

Evacuation centers open only when officials announce them, and not every center opens for every storm. Check the official list of open centers before you leave home. Bring your own bedding, food, water, and medicines.

Castro County does not publish shelter information on its website. If shelters open, follow announcements from the county and your city. Do not go to a shelter until it is announced as open.

Cities and towns

Each city has its own services and some have their own alerts. The county's evacuation zones, evacuation centers, and emergency alerts cover everyone, in every city and in unincorporated areas.
