Notice of Sale for Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 368
$7,795,000 Unlimited Tax Bonds, Series 2009.
SEVERE WEATHER NOTICE
Harris County MUD No. 368 has taken a proactive position since 1998
to provide standby generator equipment for operating our water and
wastewater plants during any power outage.
In the event of a hurricane or other weather-related disaster, your
District should be able to continue to serve all of our customers with
full water and wastewater services. In the unlikely event that our
facilities become damaged where continued operation is not possible or
safe, your water district will communicate to you through the following
sources:
- Posting of boil water notices on signs at the
entrance of all neighborhoods
- News postings on area television and radio stations
- The District’s web page as soon as possible
- Our Precinct 4 Constables
As a precaution before a hurricane makes landfall, you should do the
following:
- Pack emergency food and prescriptions into plastic
boxes that can be easily carried in the event you must
relocate.
- Have a first aid kit, radio and flashlight with
spare batteries.
- Ensure that cell phones are fully charged and place
cell phone chargers in your plastic storage boxes.
- Purchase and store plastic or vinyl tarp for
temporary repair of roof or window damage.
- Have a camera to record pre storm conditions of your
home and post storm damage. You should also have
personal phone numbers of your relatives, insurance
agent, etc.
- Pick up any loose items and store them in your home
or garage. Loose items can become deadly
projectiles in hurricane force winds. Help your
neighbors secure their property.
- Keep and install plywood over your windows or apply
heavy tape across the major areas of the glass to
prevent shattering.
- Clean out containers and store drinking water for
your family for several days allowing 2 gallons per
person per day.
- Clean out and store water in your bathtubs to use
for flushing your toilets. It usually takes about
a gallon of water poured into the bowl to evacuate it
after use.
If you or your family decides to go outside, be careful and watch out
for poisonous snakes and downed electrical wires. Do not try to
touch or move downed wires as they may still be energized and can cause
severe shock or death.
