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 plans ahead of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season. Despite forecasts predicting a below-normal season, the NOAA anticipates three to six hurricanes, including major ones. HHSC emphasizes the importance of preparedness to ensure the safety of Texans and requires long-term care providers to regularly prepare for disasters. Facilities must address power loss, food and water needs, communication, staffing, and care continuity in their plans. Providers can find resources on the Texas Ready website to assist in their preparations.
