The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) has announced a statewide test of local alerting systems to evaluate the effectiveness and functionality of these public warning tools. The planned drill will be today (April 2).
“We completely agree with TDEM Chief Nim Kidd of the importance of testing our public warning systems. Regular training and conducting drills helps muscle memory, reaffirms the procedures used and identifies potential short falls,” said Fayette County Judge Dan Mueller.
This test of local warning systems is part of TDEM’s commitment to working with Texas communities to prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of disasters and emergencies throughout the state.
