No one has a clear idea of how many people across southeast Texas are missing, how many have evacuated, or how many are trapped in their waterlogged homes.

If you live in an area affected by the storm and you are in a safe place, we would like to hear about what is happening in your area, and about your experience in dealing with federal, state and local agencies.

If you are in a safe place, please email us at hurricane@nytimes.com.

A reporter or editor from The Times may contact you to hear more about your story.

Some questions we may ask:

• Are you getting the help you need? Who has provided assistance to you?

• In your experience, are federal, state and local officials being responsive?

• Did you evacuate your home? If so, when? If not, why did you choose to stay?

• If you left your home, where did you go? Were you separated from loved ones? Have you reunited, or are you still apart?
