Understanding the Precautionary Measures

Below is a link to an easy to read flyer. It consists of a set of guidelines explaining best practices while protecting yourself and others from the spread of the Coronavirus COVID-19.

COVID-19 Wearing Fabric Masks

There are many interesting facts and tips that span a variety of areas on this poster. Some of which including the reasoning behind wearing a mask; proper handling of reusable face masks; what kind of masks the general public should be using; and lastly, the four pillars of proper prevention practices:
- Wash your hands often
- Disinfect regularly contacted surfaces
- Maintain a safe and healthy distance from others
- Stay home as much as possible by limiting your travel to only the necessities
The City of Kemah thanks you for your adherence to these guidelines!

Emergency Preparedness

Preparing in advance of a disaster takes a little work, but it can make a big difference. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has helpful information about emergency preparedness available on ready.gov.

Keep in mind, the most common disasters in this region are flooding and tornadoes.

As unfortunate as it is, the number one weather-related cause of death in Texas is flash flooding. Most flash flood victims fall into two categories:

• Motorists trying to cross a low flooded area
• Children or young adults playing around flood waters

During storm events in the Kemah area, Jarbo Bayou is prone to rapid changes in elevations.

With all this said, a document has been compiled to help you focus on what measures need to be taken sooner than later. It goes over key areas such as the location of elevation and rainfall totals that are updated regularly and published on the Harris County flood Control site; important considerations when significant rain events occur; how to understand and respond to tornado warnings and watches rather at home or on the road.

Please see this Emergency Preparedness document for an in-depth look at what you can do to be ready!
