Texas A&M Forest Service recently held a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newly outfitted Emergency Operations Center in College Station.
The EOC uses state-of-the-art technology to continuously monitor wildfire risk and state and local wildfire occurrences. It also monitors the availability and use of firefighting resources, equipment and personnel across the state.
It provides information on statewide wildfire response and resource tracking reported to the Texas Division of Emergency Management, state and national legislative officials, the Southern and National Interagency Coordination centers and Texas A&M University System leadership.
