<p>Hurricane Harvey, now a Category 1 hurricane, with sustained winds of 80 mph, is rapidly gaining strength and is forecast to become a Category 3 hurricane with winds of at least 111 mph by the time it hits the middle Texas coast late tomorrow or early Saturday.</p>
<p>Following are some recommendations for your banks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Download the Red Cross app to track the storm and provide the location of emergency shelters in your area.</li>
<li>Let your employees know today how to obtain company-specific information regarding your site (i.e., possible closure). This avoids any unnecessary trips made by your staff during the height of the storm.</li>
<li>Read the attached "<a class="Hurricane Preparedness" href="http://texasbankers.informz.net/texasbankers/data/images/HurricanePreparedness.pdf" target="_blank" choice="40" rel="noopener noreferrer">To The Point: Hurricane Preparedness<!--TRACKCUSTLINKZ--></a>" article.</li>
</ul>
