The City of Laredo will host an Emergency Preparedness Exercise sponsored by the Texas Engineering Extension (TEEX). The purpose of the exercise is to test regional first responder radio operations under emergency conditions. “The ability for different agencies and jurisdictions to communicate in an emergency is crucial in managing an emergency,” said Acting Assistant Fire Chief and Emergency Management Coordinator, Steve Landin.
During the two-day event, the City’s Emergency Management Center (EOC) will be activated and staffed by City emergency management team staff as well as representatives from other local, state and federal agencies. Once the exercise is underway and the EOC
is activated, the participants will have the opportunity to test the skills and resources available to successfully complete the operation.
The region-wide exercise will include representatives from Webb, Zapata, Jim Hogg ad Starr counties.
The event hub will be at the City’s EOC located at 5512 Thomas Avenue and will commence at 08:00 A.M. on April 15, 2008. It will conclude in Zapata, TX with an after exercise briefing at 2:00P.m.
