Jun 25, 2024
As many of you are aware, the recent Tropical Storm Alberto that impacted Texas and Mexico brought with it significant challenges and disruptions. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this storm.

In 2024, there have been 11 confirmed weather and climate disaster events in the United States, each causing losses exceeding $1 billion. This is above the average of 8.5 events per year since 1980. At Preparis, we are committed to supporting our communities. The aftermath of a natural disaster can be overwhelming, and we want to reassure you that we are here to help you navigate through these challenges.

Summary of the Storm

Tropical Storm Alberto, which made its way through the Gulf into Texas and Mexico, brought heavy rains, strong winds, and flooding to several regions last week. While the full extent of the impact is still being assessed, we know that recovery will take time and collective effort.
