As Harvey continues to assault Houston, shelters are being set up for those forced out of their homes due to flooding.
Judge Ed Emmett said in a press conference Sunday afternoon that the city is setting up shelters and working hard to get people who need assistance to those locations.
Buses will be available to help move groups to those shelters. If you have a group that needs to be taken to a shelter, you’re asked to call: 713-426-9404.
