HURRICANE HARVEY LIFE SAVING INFORMATION
TDEM has asked for help spreading the word about how to track friends and family who are Hurricane Harvey evacuees. The Red Cross has a system, but evacuees must register once safe by going to safeandwell.org and list themselves as "Safe and Well". If you use Twitter or Facebook, please SHARE this website and encourage those who follow you to also share/retweet to get the word out.

To support disaster recovery efforts, Uber is donating $300,000 of rides, food, and relief to the families and communities affected by Hurricane Harvey, and our teams on the ground are working with local officials to understand where these services can be most helpful.
To support displaced families throughout Texas, Uber is donating free rides to or from shelters (up to $50 each) in multiple cities. No action is required to receive a free ride to or from these locations-the full discount will automatically be applied and reflected in the app when you request uberX.
Uber is donating rides and supplies to those in need:
