At the request of Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), a statewide test of emergency alerting systems will be conducted as a follow-up to the tragic floods that occurred last July.

 

As part of this drill, local jurisdictions across Texas will be testing systems used to notify the public during emergencies. Depending on the systems used by your local jurisdiction and/or the jurisdiction you are in at the time of the test, residents may receive a test alert on their mobile phone and/or hear outdoor warning sirens during this time.

 

This will only be a test. No emergency action is required.
