2026 Galveston County Hurricane Preparedness

Take Action Before the Storm

Post Date:05/06/2026

Flooding can occur anywhere, and even a few inches of water can cause major damage not covered by standard homeowners insurance. Flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or private insurers helps protect your home, belongings, and financial stability. 

Don’t wait until a storm is approaching, since most policies take 30 days to go into effect. Review your coverage now to ensure it matches your property’s value and risk level so you are prepared before severe weather arrives.
