Fun approach!

As you watch for a perfect March Madness bracket, don’t forget to build your emergency game plan!

Unlike your bracket, preparedness isn’t about picking winners. You need every piece in place.

Unexpected upsets happen on and off the court. Stay ready: https://texasready.gov/build-a-kit/

Cert Family - just an FYI there will be a statewide drill of all local public awareness systems on April 2.

“Conducting drills to reaffirm procedures, promote confidence in technological tools, and identify potential shortfalls is key to ensuring these systems operate with precision, accuracy, and timeliness when they are needed the most.” -Chief Kidd
