Hurricane Harvey Resources

Hurricane Harvey made landfall Friday, August 25, with its bands of thunderstorms pounding the southeastern portion of Texas - hitting Houston and the surrounding coastline. Only in recent hours has the rain stopped long enough for residents and business owners to assess damage and make a plan. 

Many area restaurants are closed and their employees are unable to work at this time. We will update this page as we receive more valuable information from our knowledgable insurance partners and colleagues in the health departments.
