NEW EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS TESTED
The University of Houston�s Office of Emergency Management
learned that the New Emergency Communications System was tested
on May 14, as the Gulf Coast Emergency Communications Network
are now collaborating with Clear Channel Outdoor to utilize the
digital billboards in the case of a natural or man-made
disaster. This will benefit the University of Houston student,
faculty and staff commuter population as the University of
Houston�s Emergency Management Bureau will work with the Harris
County Homeland Security & Emergency Management - Regional Joint
Information Center to alert motorists on Houston roadways. This
Alert system ensures that our UH community is informed when time
is crucial. The digital billboards will present emergency
notification to motorists in the surrounding region. There are
11 billboards in the Harris County area and an additional four
more will be added in 30 days.
