The major hazards associated with hurricanes are:

· storm surge and storm tide
· heavy rainfall and inland flooding
· high winds
· rip currents
· tornadoes

In Harris County, the cost of not having flood insurance is often far greater than the cost of annual flood insurance premiums.

When a storm's maximum sustained winds reach 74 mph, it is called a hurricane. With a 1 to 5 rating, or category scale, the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is based on a hurricane's maximum sustained winds

Hurricane season starts on May 15 in the north Pacific and June 1 in the Atlantic and the Caribbean. It ends on November 30. Before hurricane season each year, make sure you and your family are prepared by planning ahead.
