Dear Governor Perry:
Due to the extreme amount of rainfall and wind damage in the City of Port Arthur during
Hurricane Humberto on September 13, 2007, the City of Port Arthur is facing tremendous
physical and economic losses. An undetermined number of homes and/or businesses have been
damaged and will require individual assistance.
Likewise, public utilities have been impacted to the extent that numerous homes/businesses have
been left without electricity.
It is my belief the damage to homes, businesses, utility systems due to the wind and rain
constitutes a public health and safety hazard. I have determined that this incident is of such
severity and magnitude that an effective response is beyond the City of Port Arthur's capability to
recover without supplementary State and/or Federal assistance. Additionally, I certify that the
City of Port Arthur does not have local funding available to make the needed repairs and to
provide these citizens with effective relief.
Your assistance in this emergency matter, as it affects the safety and health needs of our citizens,
would be appreciated.
Sincerely, ~
Mayor Delores "Bobble" Prince
City of Port Arthur
