Hurricane Preparedness | Flood Safety Poster | Mosquito Awareness | Summer Travel Infographic | Summer Cooking Tips | Ozone Action Day
 As we enter Hurricane Season, TCEQ has launched a series of blog posts demonstrating the agency’s role in these often devastating weather events. The series will explore everything from basic preparedness, to the hurricane naming system, to fish kills, to staff’s personal experiences during previous hurricanes.
As much of the state has experienced severe weather recently, it’s important to teach young people and remind ourselves of the basics of staying safe in flood conditions.
The How to Stay Safe in a Flood poster illustrates some of the various hazards that can be present during or after a flood.
Use it at home or in the classroom by having your children or students search identify all the hazards in the flood scene.

Most of us don’t enjoy sweating over a hot stove in the heat of the summer. Not only is it uncomfortable, but using your stove or oven during the Texas heat makes your air conditioner work harder to keep your home cool, resulting in higher energy costs.
Keep your kitchen cool with conservation cooking ideas, like using your grill or slow cooker!

 Each day during ozone season (roughly March through November in Texas), the TCEQ informs the public when forecasted conditions can lead to Ozone Action Days. These are days when ozone levels are above normal and can impact our health through the quality of the air we breathe.
Kids can learn about air quality, too! Explain the basics with a lesson plan & worksheet.
Learn more about ozone and air quality on our What is Air Quality? webpage.
