Officials in parts of south Texas are taking proactive measures in anticipation of the potential impacts of Hurricane Beryl. Residents are being urged to stay informed and prepared as the storm approaches.
Cameron County, Texas, is one of the areas expected to be affected by the hurricane. County Judge Eddie Trevino Jr. has advised individuals staying at county parks with RVs or high-profile vehicles to voluntarily evacuate. This includes popular parks such as Isla Blanca Park, Andy Bowie Park, and Adolph Thomae, Jr. Park.
While evacuation is not mandatory at this time, officials are emphasizing the importance of taking precautionary measures. Campers are encouraged to secure loose items, have backup generators available, and conserve perishable food supplies. Additionally, sandbags are being distributed in Brownsville, McAllen, and South Padre Island to help residents protect their properties.
Texas Governor Gregg Abbott has instructed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to issue advisory notices to emergency management agencies. This directive aims to ensure that resources are on standby and ready to be deployed promptly if the situation escalates.
As the state braces for the potential impact of Hurricane Beryl, residents are advised to stay vigilant, follow official updates, and adhere to any evacuation orders that may be issued in the coming days.
