Texas Hazard Dashboard
Texas hazard awareness often means watching several regions at once, from Gulf Coast storms to Panhandle severe weather and fast-changing heat or grid stress in major metros. HazardNow helps organize those public signals into one practical scan.
Severe storms, hurricanes and coastal storms, flash flooding, extreme heat, fuel or transportation disruptions, and power grid stress can affect local decisions and statewide logistics.

Official sources still matter
HazardNow is informational only. It is not an official warning system, emergency alert provider, evacuation authority, or substitute for NWS, FEMA, state emergency agencies, utilities, transportation agencies, local officials, or first responders. Use HazardNow to notice public signals, then follow official instructions for warnings, evacuations, road closures, shelters, utility restoration, health guidance, and protective actions.
