An official for PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD said the district routinely opens warming, cooling and emergency shelters in response to severe weather and that local partners depend on its facilities.
“We're opening up a warming shelter, we're opening up a shelter, we're opening up a cooling shelter,” the official said, adding the district does so “because of bad weather or, you know, possible hurricane.” The speaker said the county and the American Red Cross “look to us” and that “PSJ is always ready to answer the call.”
The remarks framed the district as a regular local partner in emergency response rather than describing a one-off action. The official emphasized staff capacity and community compassion, saying the district’s team is prepared to open shelters when needed and that doing so is “never even a question.”
The official did not provide dates, locations, capacity figures or staffing numbers for the shelters during these remarks. No formal motion, vote or written directive was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
