Trophy Club updates emergency planning: interlocal with Roanoke, siren upgrades and new resident programs
Summary
Town staff reported completion of an interlocal agreement with Roanoke for emergency management, a $155,000 allocation to replace outdoor warning sirens beginning in October, installation of flood gauges in a known flood area, and 75 residents signed up for a new 'Response Ready' program; TC alerts accounts rose about 12% (~630 accounts).
Town emergency-management staff told the Trophy Club Town Council on Monday that the town has completed an interlocal transition for emergency management services with the city of Roanoke, is planning a hardware-and-software replacement of the outdoor warning siren system funded at $155,000, and has expanded resident outreach and field sensors to improve alerts and flood monitoring.
Why it matters
Upgrading warning systems and formalizing emergency-management partnerships affect the town’s ability to warn residents of severe weather, flooding and other hazards. The town said the work increases resilience and integrates local capabilities with regional resources.
