For immediate release: Sept. 21, 2005
The issuance of vehicle identification stickers for South Padre Island residents ends at 10 p.m. today.
Vehicle identification stickers are issued at the South Padre Island Fire Department, located behind City Hall at 4501 Padre Blvd.
Persons seeking stickers will need proof of residence, such as a drivers’ license, utility bill, etc. They will also need the license plate number, year, color and make of the vehicle being registered.
Vehicle identification stickers are one of the forms of identification used to allow people to return to South Padre Island following any evacuation. If a storm is approaching the Island, no stickers are issued within 72 hours of a potential landfall.
SPI officials urge residents to remain very watchful, since Hurricane Rita can adjust either north or south rather quickly. Individual preparations should be under way.
Storm updates are available on the South Padre Island Emergency Management Web site at www.townspi.com, and click on the Emergency Management link.
For additional information, call Melissa Zamora, Town of South Padre Island deputy public information officer, (956) 761-3005 or (956) 433-1231.
