Omega Bay is a residential subdivision within the city limits of La Marque, Texas, geographically situated between Interstate 45, State Highway 6 and Highland Bayou. Homeowners are bound by the Restrictions and Covenants (a.k.a. deeds) of the subdivision when property is purchased. The current deeds allow for a homeowner association known as the Omega Bay Improvement Committee (OBIC) whose duties and functions are outlined within the documents (see below).
There are a number of audible emergency alert sirens in the Texas City-La Marque area. These alert mechanisms are in place for a variety of reasons including chemical releases and tornadoes. The siren closest to Omega Bay is operated by the City of Bayou Vista. The siren is tested every Wednesday around the noon hour. The siren will ramp up producing a single audible sustained tone for about one minute. In the event of an emergency, the siren will ramp up and down producing a tone that will vary in pitch for about 3 minutes. This is an alert for area residents to "shelter-in-place." When sheltering-in-place, it is recommended that you close doors and windows and turn off any air exchanging devices (including some air conditioners). The "all-clear" signal is the same tone heard during the test- a single sustained tone for one minute.
