UTMB is fine. There has been only one minor injury. A damage assessment of the campus is in progress. We are asking all employees to remain inside until it is safe to go out. We do not yet know when we will release people to go and check their homes.
We are currently on emergency power and we are working to bring systems back online. The ED is providing emergency services only until further notice. Today three patients and one family member were safely transferred out of the hospital. As the water continues to go down, we are expecting more patients. Communications and power are still intermittent and we are working to stabilize them.
Employees and Media needing additional information can call the UTMB Emergency Operations Center at (409) 770-9038. We will provide regular updates at 12:00 noon, 3:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. and special bulletins if needed.

The phone number listed for the EOC is not working. The line rings and it sounds as if someone picks up the line but no sound.
I just called that number 409 770 9038 at 2:30 and somebody answered but the volume was very low. I asked for them to check on my son who is working at tdcj . Try that number again. Thanks.
Hi!

I am trying to reach him since we (his family) heard the news of this devastating strom but no luck. Kindly if any body can tell us about his well being we will be extremely grateful. Everybody in his home land is worried about him.
