FLOOD RESPONSE STAGED BY TDEM AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT

In response to flooding conditions in Tom Green County, TDEM will be activating to Level III in support of the Tom Green County/San Angelo OEM. 

Local TXDOT, DPS, TPWD, Texas Task Force 1 Boat Crew and the National Weather Service are activated and working with the Tom Green County OEM.

Several roads have moving water running over the roadway.   Local VFD's have positioned high profile vehicles in the county to respond to calls for assistance.  

Due to an extreme high call volume, the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office request citizens to consult https://drivetexas.org/ before calling the sheriff's office for road conditions.  Citizens are encouraged to slow down and use extreme caution when approaching roadways underwater.

Turn around, don't drown!
