RRC Prepares for Hurricane Season with Joint Exercise
The RRC works year-round to ensure the state’s natural gas supply flows to help Texas residents with heating and electricity generation. We successfully did so through two storms this past winter helping ensure ample natural gas supply, and the agency is now preparing for the upcoming hurricane season.
The RRC joined the Texas Division of Emergency Management and several other state agencies to plan for hurricane season in a full-scale simulation several weeks ago. There were 40 separate exercise sites participating to strengthen capabilities, plans, and procedures to foster cross agency response to severe storms.

All of RRC’s Safety and Emergency Management Team were part of the multi-day exercise.
“ This helped us test our internal capability, our internal processes and procedures,” said Christopher Cabrera, RRC Operations Project Manager. “ We want to make sure what’s important to us as an agency is also important to the rest of the state emergency response. Which means that by ensuring the natural gas supply chain, the readiness of that, we add value.”
