AAHOA Texas Member Alert: Hurricane Beryl Update

Dear Texas AAHOA Members:

Hurricane Beryl made landfall on Monday morning at 4 a.m. CDT near Matagorda, TX. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports threats remain for storm surge, hurricane-force winds, and flash and urban flooding.

To assist our members who live in the region, AAHOA has put together a list of resources. Some of these resources apply to all areas of the country as we enter the peak months for hurricanes and tropical storms. Many AAHOA Member-owned hotels are located on or near the path of hurricanes, making preparedness a top priority. We encourage all hoteliers to have a plan in place and to use AAHOA as a resource to protect their families, guests, and properties from the impact of hurricanes.  

Available Resources:

• Texas Hurricane Center

• Hurricane Evacuation Routes

• Emergency Supply Kit

• TDEM Disaster Portal

• AAHOA Disaster Planning and Preparedness Resources

• Call 800-621-FEMA or visit the flood claim site to learn more about your policy and be directed to the appropriate claims resource.
