Recommendation to Avoid Burning Due to Water Shortages

Stay Prepared (2)

The lack of water resources makes it challenging to control fires, posing a significant risk to public safety.

  • Conserve Water: Limit water usage wherever possible to help alleviate the shortage.
  • Follow Safety Guidelines: Refrain from burning and adhere to local recommendations to prevent fires.
  • Stay Informed: Keep up to date with local advisories and updates from Galveston County authorities.

By working together and using the appropriate channels for assistance, we can ensure a safer and more efficient recovery process for everyone in Galveston County. Your cooperation and community spirit are greatly appreciated during this time.
