A year after deadly floods, Texas lawmakers havent addressed training for emergency coordinators
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A year after the devastating floods in Texas, state lawmakers have yet to implement training requirements for local emergency management coordinators. During legislative hearings, Nim Kidd, the chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, emphasized the need for a baseline training standard, as current regulations allow untrained individuals to fill these critical roles. Although some measures were taken post-flood, including the installation of flood warning sirens and new camp safety regulations, two proposed bills addressing emergency coordinator training failed to pass. Lawmakers will have another chance to consider these recommendations in January during the next legislative session.
