EVACUATION INFO: Buses will collect evacuees from pick-up sites starting 8:30AM Monday
Valley Morning Star

People evacuating voluntarily from Cameron County who do not
plan to drive their own cars may go to pick-up points around
the county to be picked up by school buses, Precinct 4
Commissioner Edna Tamayo said.

School buses will begin picking people up from collection
points at 8:30 a.m. Monday and will stop at those points every
half hour, she said.

County and city officials will meet today at the courthouse in
Brownsville, Tamayo said.

Cities are responsible for coordinating with school districts
to organize pick-up points for city residents, Tamayo said.
Those pickup points will be announced on Sunday, she said.

Evacuees from rural areas will board school buses that will take
evacuees to the central collection point at the new Cameron County
annex building (the former Levi?s factory) at the northbound
Expressway 77/83 frontage road and Oscar Williams Road in San
Benito.

There the passengers will be transferred to larger buses being
sent by the state of Texas. After each large bus is filled,
evacuees will be taken to shelters in San Antonio.

Pickup points for evacuees from rural areas are:

Arroyo City fire station
Las Yescas Elementary School
Laureles Liberty Elementary School
Brownsville Lopez High School
Ben Brite Elementary School, Brownsville
Rangerville Elementary School
La Encantada Elementary School
El Ranchito; Santa Maria High School
Riverside Elementary, La Paloma

Bus evacuation will continue every half hour all day Monday,
Tamayo said.
