The Office of Personnel Management said Monday that 59,600 federal employees from 45 agencies work in the region impacted by Hurricane Harvey, which struck Texas over the weekend. OPM is coordinating its response with local federal executive boards.
Harvey made landfall northeast of Corpus Christi, Texas, late Friday as a category 4 hurricane before moving north to Houston, dumping torrential rain across a wide area and causing massive flooding.
