STEAR - State of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry 

Individuals with disabilities, limited mobility, and communication barriers are eligible, and encouraged, to apply.

Do you or anyone you know need some assistance during times of an emergency event? The state of Texas presents the STEAR program.

The STEAR program is a free registry that provides local emergency planners and emergency responders with additional information on the needs in their community.

Texas communities use the registry information in different ways. Registering yourself in the STEAR registry DOES NOT guarantee that you will receive a specific service during an emergency. Available services will vary by community.

For more information on how your community will use information in the STEAR registry, contact your local emergency management office.

Evacuations

 In the event of an evacuation, it is important to know your ZIP Zone. Evacuations may call for certain zones to be evacuated and/or in an order to ensure the evacuation routes do not get clogged. 

Knowing your route is important as well. This should all be in your final written plan for you and your loved ones as well as alternate routes and rally points in case of separation. Ensure that everyone knows where they are going, how to get there, and has cell phones charged.

Below are the supported evacuation routes for Galveston County.
