The City of Beaumont needs to advise disaster evacuees with information or status on utilities, return (to Beaumont) schedule, or any other pertinent information. This will help Beaumont residents plan better while helping the city officials. Please help us help you.

My son is incarcerated at the Beaumont Medium Prison and we have not heard from him since hurricane Ike ravaged through your city. Does your station have any information that could help us ease our minds? Thank your in advance for your assistance.
