What a great resource! Thank you for taking the time to organize all this information and offering it FREE.
Thanks so much, Daisy! This will be so very helpful. I lost almost everything in a wildfire many years ago (pre 911) and, in comparison to the Houston flooding, a fire is a “clean” disaster. Just ash and lumpy stuff to haul away. They will have to deal with so many health hazards, some long term. And who knows how soon this kind of detailed info/guidelines will be issued by officials. I now live in an area that experiences floods so I’m printing out the booklet to review and keep on hand – just in case.
While I don’t live in a hurricane prone area, the information is still pertinent to floods and storm surges. Thank You! ????
Daisy, this is a wonderful resource that you have prepared, and I hope it helps anyone who has been devastated by this most recent event. And I will certainly keep it as a resource myself.
Many people will be living in their cars or at campsites and such for awhile. Here’s an article about using gasoline as a fuel with a Coleman camping stove:

There’s probably a lot of other useful tips on that website too.
Also, if you find yourself in a government shelter, it means you have failed. Get out, as fast as you can!
This well written account of surviving hurricane Katrina partially describes why:

Change, what you can change.
Well on the other hand, it would be nice, if the banks the received all that bailout money start trade schools for the people of Texas, so they could fully precipitate in their own rebuilding! There will be thousands of unemployed with no skills, so from, framers to stonemasons will be needed and it will take a long time for rebuild to happen. I do not know if something like that could be put together , but being always hopeful of the human condition, maybe?
