Houston Emergency Center coordinates responses across city
On July 20, Kingwood’s Positive Interaction Program (PIP) meeting was all about what makes Houston, the nation’s fourth largest city, able to handle its thousands of emergencies, both big and small, day in and day out, 24 hours a day. Everything from hurricanes, police, fires and emergency medical services to individual 9-1-1 calls, the Houston Emergency Center is where everything is coordinated and managed. Sgt. Michael Gunter of the Houston Police Department Communications Division provided a presentation about how it all works.
