Texas A&M Forest Service held a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly outfitted Emergency Operation Center (EOC) in College Station today. 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. The event honored the generous support of The Texas A&M University System leadership who helped make the upgrade possible, including Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp. The event also showcased remarks from Dr. Jeff Savell, Texas A&M AgriLife Vice Chancellor and Dean, and Brandi Ashby, Texas Division of Emergency Management Region 8 Assistant Chief. Both information partners of the EOC. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3ZWILER
