Portrait of Beulah (Nov 1967)
Edwin J. Harvey
The story of Hurricane Beulah has three chapters. Hurricane alerts, preparation and arrival of the storm itself comprise the first. Devastating floodwaters which swept whole houses down the Arroyo Colorado and took highway and railroad bridges out to sea form Chapter 2. And the third, actually the most significant, is the vigor and determination with which the entire Valley launched recovery operations.

Dr. Mario E. Ramirez Hurricane Beulah Photograph Collection
George F. Tuley
Photographs document how emergency clinics were organized and managed and portray the use of make-shift equipment in the absence of standard medical supplies. In addition, text-based portions of this collection document how disaster planning and recovery procedures in Texas changed after Hurricane Beulah due to information provided by Dr. Ramirez and the medical response team in Starr County to agencies such as the Texas State Department of Health and the Texas Department of Public Safety. Due to growing national attention toward emergency preparedness and disaster response, the portion of the collection devoted to Hurricane Beulah disaster response is of significant historical and informational value.
-- Project titled "Bringing a South Texas Story from Paper to Pixel: Digital Documentation of the Hurricane Beulah Crisis in the Rio Grande Valley, 1967".The project focuses on the digitization of photographs which document the health care response to thousands of Hurricane Beulah victims in Starr County.
