Houston METRO is key player in disaster response
Houston is no stranger to disasters of every kind imaginable, from small to big ones. Hurricanes, fires, explosions, hazardous materials spills, evacuations, rescues from floods; this area has them all and they all require a coordinated and rapid response among many government agencies and communities. Houston Tran Star is globally recognized for managing southeast Texas’ transportation system and functions as the primary coordination site for responding to incidents and emergencies. As a part of Houston Trans Star, the Harris County Metropolitan Transit Authority (METRO) plays a key role in that process.
