The Galveston County Office of Emergency Management is continuing to monitor Ike's progress.  The afternoon forecast has moved the track a bit further south on the Texas Coast.  However, this is a good time to remind everyone to watch the entire forecast cone and not the single track.  We continue to work very closely with our partners at the National Weather Service and the Governor's Division of Emergency Management as well as all local jurisdictions.  Now is a crucial time to review your family plans and begin to prepare in the event the storm should strike our region. Please keep your gas tanks full in case an evacuation is called by your local officials.  A suggested list of supplies for your disaster kit can be found here.  Keep yourselves up to date on the most current information by visiting the websites of the National Weather Service Houston-Galveston, the National Hurricane Center and our web page.
