Tomorrow, (April 2nd), Texas will test its public warning systems statewide.
The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) is conducting a coordinated drill of local alerting systems across the state, including sirens, emergency alerts, and other community warning tools.
If you hear alerts tomorrow, no action is required. This is a planned test.
What you CAN do: use it as a prompt to check your own preparedness.
✅ Know your shelter locations at home and work
✅ Confirm your household has a severe weather plan
✅ Make sure your phone is set to receive Wireless Emergency Alerts
Spring storm season is here. The drill is a good reminder that the time to prepare is before the skies change.
