"As we begin our recovery from Tropical Storm Imelda, we want to make sure survivors have all the information they need to recover as quickly as possible," said Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo.  "We know recovering from disasters is never easy, but what we can do is make sure we're doing everything possible to help residents navigate the wide array of resources being made available by our community. If you or someone you know needs help, we encourage you to visit the Local Recovery Center near you or visit ReadyHarris.org."
