HOUSTON Getting ready for hurricane season during the pandemic may look a little different, but emergency officials said prepping early and giving yourself lots of time to get everything in order will help keep you and your family safe. We recognize that COVID-19 adds a new level of complexity to our hurricane planning, said Franciso Sanchez, with the Harris County Office of Emergency Management. Sanchez said that with a storm threat looming this week, everyone should try to get all their hurricane preps done as soon as possible. Because of coronavirus, your kit may look a little different.
