🌪️ Severe Weather Awareness Week 🌪️

This week, we recognize Severe Weather Awareness Week and encourage everyone in Brazos County to take time to prepare before severe weather threatens our area.

We are sharing important information from the National Weather Service Houston/Galveston to help you stay informed and ready. Severe weather can develop quickly in Texas — knowing the risks and having a plan can save lives.

✔️ Know the difference between a watch and a warning
✔️ Identify your safe place at home, work, and school
✔️ Have multiple ways to receive weather alerts
✔️ Review your emergency plan with your family

📢 We encourage you to follow trusted weather sources, review your preparedness plans, and share this information with friends and family.

Preparedness starts before the storm. Stay weather-aware, Brazos County.

Burn Ban is in place. This is done for the safety of our community and our emergency responders.

🚨Effective immediately, Brazos County is under a Burn Ban. Commissioners voted to enact the order today (2/24/26) following the recommendations of the Emergency Management Coordinator and all four Emergency Service District fire chiefs. Lower humidity and higher winds contribute to the concern, as well as grasses that froze recently which add fuel to potential fires.
The 60 day order is set to expire April 25th, but can be terminated early by the County Judge, if necessary.
