Overview
Updated: June 17, 2026
Tropical Storm Arthur is the first named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season and has formed along the southern coast of Texas. While strong wind shear from El Niño is expected to limit strengthening in the Gulf, the storm may still produce dangerous rainfall, localized flooding, and service disruptions across affected areas. Texas and Louisiana should remain alert for changing conditions as the storm moves inland.

Healthcare Ready's Role during Tropical Storm Arthur
Healthcare Ready works to monitor and evaluate the situation around the damage and provide analysis of its implications. We aim to provide information across sectors to supply information to all parties involved or impacted. Healthcare Ready is focusing efforts on highlighting challenges and supporting solutions to these challenges from the damages.
A part of monitoring during this time is through Rx Open. Rx Open provides information on the operating status of healthcare facilities in areas impacted by a disaster. When the map is active for an event, users can use the Facilities map to search for individual facility status such as pharmacies, community health centers, and dialysis centers.
