AUSTIN — On Monday, June 1, 2020, at 11:00 a.m., Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush will host the 2020 Hurricane Outlook Webinar with Dr. Gerry Bell, the lead seasonal forecaster with the NOAA Climate Prediction Center, to give local, state, and federal government partners along the Texas Coast an idea of what the 2020 hurricane season will look like, and what it could mean for our communities. The webinar link can be accessed at recovery.texas.gov/preparedness.

In the wake of Hurricanes Ike, Dolly, Rita, and Harvey, Bastrop wildfires, 2015-16 floods, and Tropical Storm Imelda, Texas made great strides to improve disaster preparation. The GLO provides resources to assist communities as we prepare for the hurricane season and other hazardous events at: http://www.glo.texas.gov/recovery/partnerships/recovery-resources/index.html.
