Travis County Judge Andy Brown Issued a Declaration of Local Disaster Friday in anticipation of large crowds and strain on first responders in the days surround
KERRVILLE, TEXAS - OCTOBER 14: The moon descends over the sun's horizon during an annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023 in Kerrville, Texas. Differing from a total solar eclipse, the moon in an annular solar eclipse covers part of the sun's light, creating the "ring of fire" effect around the moon. According to a county press release, the disaster declaration enables the county to take actions necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of residents and visitors.
“Today, I issued the Travis County disaster declaration to ensure the safe and successful enjoyment of the April 8th total solar eclipse,” Brown said. “This disaster declaration will allow our first responders and public safety officials to better manage traffic and crowds as we anticipate the population to potentially double in size, and we want to ensure everyone can enjoy the total solar eclipse in Travis County.
