<h3>Lost wages due to hurricane?</h3>
<p>If you've missed work as a direct result of Hurricane Harvey, you may be qualified for Texas Workforce Commission's <a href="http://www.twc.state.tx.us/jobseekers/disaster-unemployment-assistance" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Disaster Unemployment Assistance</a>?</p>
<h3>Community Updates</h3>
<p>We care deeply about the communities that are undergoing challenges as a result of Hurricane Harvey. <a href="http://texashighways.com/component/k2/item/8656-hurricane-harvey-coastal-community-updates">We will share updates</a> as we receive them, and cannot wait to help get these communities back on their feet!</p>
<h3>Stay informed</h3>
<p>For more information about Hurricane Harvey, including resources deployed and updated information, go to: <a href="https://www.fema.gov/hurricane-harvey">fema.gov/hurricane-harvey</a>. You can also download the <a href="https://www.fema.gov/mobile-app">FEMA mobile app</a> in English and Spanish for shelter information, disaster resources, weather alerts, and safety tips. Residents in areas affected by this storm should use social media sites like Facebook or Twitter to reconnect with loved ones.</p>
<h3>Stay Safe</h3>
<p>American Red Cross helps you<a href="http://www.redcross.org/get-help/disaster-relief-and-recovery-services/find-an-open-shelter"> find shelter</a>, <a href="https://safeandwell.communityos.org/zf/safe/add" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">list yourself as safe </a>and <a href="https://safeandwell.communityos.org/zf/safesearch/search" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">search for missing family member</a>.</p>
<p>Don’t drive on flooded roadways. Remember – <a href="https://www.weather.gov/tsa/hydro_tadd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">turn around, don’t drown</a>.</p>
<p>If you are in a high rise building and need to shelter in place, go to the first or second floor hallways or interior rooms. You want to stay on floors above floodwater or storm surge, but do not go to the highest floors due to wind impacts.</p>
<p>If you are under a tornado warning, seek shelter immediately in the center of a small interior room (closet, interior hallway) on the lowest level of a sturdy building. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside.</p>
<h3>Evacuation resources</h3>
<p>Texas Department of Transportation will use <a href="http://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/media-center/txdot-twitter-feeds.html">Twitter feeds</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TxDOT" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a> to deliver storm preparedness, road condition and evacuation information to social media users. Follow these for up-to-the-minute transportation news and local traffic information.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/division/travel/information-centers.html">TxDOT Travel Information Centers</a> also are offering traveler assistance and highway conditions information at the individual centers and through (800) 452-9292.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/division/traffic/safety/weather/hurricane-contraflow.html">Guides</a> for traveling major highways in the region during an evacuation are also available. Activated evacuation routes will be reflected in current <a href="http://www.drivetexas.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">road conditions</a> or by calling (800) 452-9292.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.drivetexas.org">Statewide Highway Conditions</a> or call toll free (800) 452-9292</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Volunteer</h3>
<p>If you are able, volunteer your time with the organizations that are helping out. The American Red Cross, for example, could use volunteers and is putting those interested in volunteering through fast-track training. Here are <strong><a href="https://www.nvoad.org/voad-members/national-members/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a list of volunteer organizations</a>,</strong> including The Red Cross that are sending out volunteers to help in various capacities with regard to Hurricane Harvey.</p>
<h3><img src="/images/spca.jpg" alt="spca" class="caption" title="A team from the SPCA helps bring in cats from a Corpus Christi shelter to keep them safe from Hurricane Harvey. " />Remember the Animals</h3>
<p>Please don’t forget our furry friends. Organizations like the SPCA and shelters take on higher than normal volumes of displaced animals or animals that cannot stay with owners in shelters. Inland shelters are taking in hundreds of animals from coastal shelters, too.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.spca.org/give" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The SPCA of Texas</a></strong>, for example, has taken in more than 100 cats from the Corpus Christi area and they plan to take in more. SPCA official say that, as the organization prepares to deploy disaster response efforts in North Texas to assist the Gulf Coast, support for this effort and for all of the programs and services is critical.</p>
<p>Along with financial donations to <a href="https://www.spca.org/page.redir?target=http%3a%2f%2fwww.spca.org%2fgive&amp;srcid=95592&amp;srctid=1&amp;erid=20915014&amp;trid=3333492f-4c0e-420f-84b4-9969ab405b62">www.spca.org/give</a>, the supplies most needed are cat litter, litter boxes, towels, blankets, large wire crates, toys, treats, pet beds, newspaper and gas gift cards. In-kind donations can be brought to the SPCA of Texas' Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center in Dallas or the SPCA of Texas' Russell H. Perry Animal Care Center in McKinney.</p>
