HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS
The Hurricane Season begins in June, and is generally expected to intensify in the months of August and September. Given the potential of extreme weather conditions to cause serious disruption of daily activities, damage to properties and serious physical conditions, the Consulate General of Italy has updated its web site with information on how to handle emergency situations.
This page provides general information and specific material regarding urban and rural areas in this Consulate's jurisdiction that are more at risk of extreme weather, namely a greater danger of hurricanes in Houston/Galveston and New Orleans for Hurricans, in this Consulate’s jurisdiction and a greater risk of tornadoes in the plains of Arkansas, Oklahoma as well as Northern Texas and Louisiana.
Regardless of where you live, you are strongly recommended to obtain information from your local authorities on eventual emergency plans in case of a natural disaster, and, should any such event occur, follow carefully the instructions that they will provide.
Italian citizens are recommended to register onto the Dove siamo nel mondo web site, whose link is provided on the Consulate home page, in order to allow Italian Authorities to contact them in case of an emergency.
