Assuming a visitor to Galveston Island (business or vacation purposes) learns of an approaching tropical storm, but is unable to leave before heavy traffic makes it difficult to do so. Where ares the safest places) on Galveston Island to ride out the storm?
This scenario presupposes that [1] electronic monetary transactions might become difficult or impossible, and [2] the visitor does not have personal friends or close business associates on Galveston Island to look to for assistance.
Should this happen in the manner described, how much cash should be kept in reserve? Are there any organizations available to assist stranded visitors during times of natural disasters?

If I learned of an impending tropical storm while visiting Galveston Island, but not in time to leave before the tropical storm makes landfall: Assuming I already had a hotel or motel room, I'd get enough food to last at least 2 days and stay in my room, keep the blinds or curtains closed, and unlock my door only for uniformed law enforcement personnel and leave the room only if they order me to do so.
If I did not already have a hotel or motel room and was unable to find one, all bets are off. Churches or other large buildings willing to admit refugees might be an alternative option.
