Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

WHEN BAD WEATHER THREATENS, BE READY TO LEAVE TRAILER
BEAUMONT, Texas—-Governor Rick Perry recently declared March 4-10 Severe Weather Awareness Week in Texas. In support of this public information campaign, officials with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) remind travel trailer residents that when bad weather threatens, they must be ready to evacuate.
“Residents need to dodge the dangers posed by extreme weather events, such as hailstorms, windstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes,” said Sandra Cooley, the senior FEMA official for the Beaumont area field office. “Personal safety trumps all other concerns.”
