The United States Coast Guard posted additional phone numbers that were set up for people who are in danger and need rescued.

281-464-4851

281-464-4852

281-464-4853

281-464-4854

281-464-4855

Residents can also call 311 or Houston Police's non-emergency phone number at 713-884-3131.

713-207-2222 to report downed power lines to CenterPoint Energy

They urge people not to rely on social media to report that they need to be rescued. Rescues need to be coordinated by trained officials. There is very little your local TV station can do.

Other tips:

Do no go into your attic to escape flood waters. Get onto the roof.
