Martin County hurricane guide

The Martin County Office of Emergency Management runs a joint emergency management program with the City of Stanton, led by an Emergency Management Coordinator. The county says flooding and wildfire are the events most likely to occur, and its mitigation plans include rescue of flood victims from severe weather and receiving and housing coastal communities evacuating from Gulf Coast hurricanes. Heavy rain, flash flooding, and wind can reach inland Texas, including from the remains of a tropical storm. Call 911 for emergencies.

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.

The county's emergency management page does not list shelters. It says county plans include receiving and housing coastal communities evacuating from Gulf Coast hurricanes. Follow county alerts and do not go to a building unless officials say it is 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.
