As Hurricane Preparedness Week comes to a close, the Houma Terrebonne Housing Authority (HTHA) encourages everyone to remain prepared as the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season begins on June 1 and continues through November 30.
In South Louisiana, severe weather can develop quickly. Taking a few simple steps now can help protect your family, property, and important documents before a storm approaches.
Hurricane Preparedness Tips
- Review your emergency evacuation plan and routes
- Keep important documents stored in a safe, waterproof location
- Prepare an emergency supply kit with essentials such as water, medications, flashlights, batteries, and nonperishable food
- Charge phones and backup batteries ahead of severe weather
- Stay informed through trusted local weather and emergency management sources
Preparedness starts before a storm is in the forecast. HTHA encourages the community to use this time to review plans and stay weather aware throughout hurricane season.
