NWS Houston/Galveston --> Severe WX Awareness Week --> Severe WX Awareness Week Introduction

Southeast Texas Severe Weather Awareness Week
February 29 - March 6, 2004
Governor Rick Perry has proclaimed the week of February 29th through March 6th as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Texas.

During Severe Weather Awareness Week, the National Weather Service in coordination with the Texas Division of Emergency Management and the Insurance Information Institute will highlight various aspects of severe weather. Newspapers, broadcast media, safety organizations, and other local government officials are encouraged to work with their communities to disseminate severe weather awareness information to prepare them for the upcoming severe weather season. This booklet is designed to serve as a guide to the dangers of severe weather and its impacts on southeast Texas, and to serve as a guide to community groups around southeast Texas. While reading this booklet, it is important to remember that severe weather can occur in any month of the year in southeast Texas.

During each day of Severe Weather Awareness Week, special releases will be made by the National Weather Service to further emphasize important information about severe weather and the National Weather Service job in warning the public.
