As you may be aware, the City of Houston issued an Emergency Health Declaration and Harris County issued a Disaster Declaration on March 11, 2020. These declarations are formal statements by local leaders to trigger extra resources.
Officials said these declarations do not mean it’s time to panic and the Greater Houston area is not shutting down.
The emergency declaration for Houston began at the end of the day Wednesday, March 11 and will last for at least seven days. Houston City Council will meet on the seventh day to see if the declaration needs to be extended. For more information please visit the City of Houston official website: https://houstonemergency.org/
