DISPELLING EVACUATION RUMORS
Emergency Management Officials are receiving a high volume of calls about the evacuation for Jefferson, Hardin and Orange Counties. Apparently someone has spread a false rumor that the Southeast Texas Evacuation Order has been lifted. That is not true.
The evacuation order remains in place. Unless the media receives official notification from Southeast Texas Emergency Management, All previous information that has been released is still in effect.
