## Resource

Texas braces for major weather chaos as Governor Abbott activates emergency response across the state amid warnings of heavy rain, flash flooding, damaging winds, and large hail from Monday through Wednesday. Officials urge residents to monitor local forecasts, prep emergency kits, and have family evacuation plans ready. The state is deploying swiftwater rescue teams, urban search and rescue crews, National Guard helicopters, troopers, game wardens, and boats — with agencies tracking roads, power, and gas supplies. Governor Abbott’s key message: if you see flooded roads, turn around — don’t drown. Stay informed and stay safe.
