FLOOD DEBRIS REMOVAL INFORMATION


Please share the following information with those who may need assistance following Monday's devastating floods. 

Commissioner Gene L. Locke’s crews will be picking up water-soaked debris that people re-move from their homes in unincorporated areas. Workers also will remove trees that have fallen on streets and sidewalks. Here’s how the program works:

Residents can place furniture, carpet and other items on curbside Inform Commissioner Locke’s office about downed trees Call Precinct One at 713-991-6881

In addition to the flood recovery that Precinct One is conducting in unincorporated areas of Harris County, Commissioner Locke has spoken with Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and pledged to provide debris removal resources in portions of the city limits that are located in Precinct One. The commissioner has also requested the Harris County Housing Authority to  work jointly with the City of Houston Housing Authority to find immediate options for families displaced by the  flooding.

When and if a declaration is made, the Harris County Recovery Network provides current updated information on how to register with FEMA and when, where and how to receive recovery services: www.harrisrecovery.org

To find available housing, visit Harris County Housing and Community Resource Center: www.hrc.hctx.net

To donate funds to assist residents in the recovery process, go to www.houstonfloodrecovery.org

Take pictures, save receipts and register your flood damaged home at www.readyharris.org.

Precinct One is working with partner agencies to assist flood victims. For more information, visit www.readyharris.org

Thank you,
Mary Benton
