The Beaumont Office of Emergency Management is actively monitoring tropical weather, including Tropical Storms Marco and Laura. The forecasted tracks for these systems are still uncertain but they have potential to impact our area within a day apart. We remind you to take action and always be prepared even though the storms are too far away to predict specific locations for landfall. This includes keeping your gas tanks at least half full, updating your “go-kit” with emergency supplies and preparing your home and business to prevent items from injuring people or damaging property . Monitor, and local news media for updates.
