🌧️ Can you believe it’s been 21 years since Hurricane Rita?

Rita’s devastating traffic jam remains an important part of Houston’s history and a powerful reminder of the challenges that can come with evacuating a major metropolitan area.

The lessons learned from Rita helped shape evacuation planning and continue to influence how communities prepare for major storms today.

🚗 What should you know before the next hurricane? Visit the Houston-Galveston Area Council's hurricane preparedness resources to learn more about evacuation planning, routes and how to prepare before a storm threatens.
