Texas Risk Mitigation Forum

Jun 30, 2010

Lt. Governor David Dewhurst addressed the Texas Risk Mitigation Forum Tuesday and urged all Texans to make preparations for the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season which began June 1. The season's first major named storm, Tropical Storm Alex, is projected to become a hurricane and potentially impact communities in coastal and south Texas. Heavy rains, high winds and possible flooding could result along the Texas coast and inland.

"First and foremost, all Texans in Alex's projected path should listen closely to their local leaders and heed any warnings. Waiting until the storm hits is too late," said Lt. Governor Dewhurst. "State emergency management officials are watching the situation closely and are already making preparations for possible landfall, including pre-positioning rescue crews and supplies, as well as activating Texas Military Forces, for relief and recovery operations. But the more people prepare now, the less likely they will be in harm's way later."

Korean War Veteran John Rogers

On Saturday John Rogers, a University of Houston graduate, finally got the chance to walk across the stage at the U of H spring commencement. For the 90 year-old Korean War Veteran, this was an opportunity he never thought he would have.

See pictures below and an excerpt of the story here: The chance to be recognized for his achievement, in cap and gown while surrounded by family just two weeks before his 91st birthday, was nearly indescribable.
