Red Cross Urges Community Readiness Ahead of Weekend Winter Weather

THE WOODLANDS, TX — As our community prepares for this weekend’s winter storm, the American Red Cross—together with the City of Houston Office of Emergency Management, Harris County Office of Emergency Management, and local jurisdictions—is working around the clock to support extreme cold‑weather operations.

Our top priorities are keeping people safe, ensuring sheltering resources remain available, and staying ready to expand support as conditions change. Teams are staffing emergency operations centers, assisting shelters and warming centers, and making sure families—and their pets—have access to essential services. The Red Cross remains deeply committed to standing alongside our government and community partners to help protect lives during this winter weather event.
