HHSC Reminds Providers to Review Emergency Plans
· Texas Border Business
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is reminding health care facilities and child care providers to update their emergency response plans ahead of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. Despite predictions of a below-normal season with three to six hurricanes, including possibly three major ones, preparedness is essential for ensuring safety. HHSC emphasizes that long-term care providers, hospitals, and child care operations must regularly prepare for disasters. Key areas to address include power outages, food and water needs, communication, staff responsibilities, and evacuation plans. Providers are encouraged to visit the Texas Ready website for resources on emergency preparedness.
