Update: Team Leader Williams advised they had an eventful day full of calls. Everyone is very accommodating and happy to have the Teams there for help. For lunch, a food truck came by and fed all of the PSAP personnel. They are sleeping in what will be the new dispatch center that was under construction before the Hurricane.

Update: Team Leader Johnson advised it was pretty quiet evening. The PD had to make its first arrest in over a week last night. Everyone has been let back into the city. However, there is still a curfew. The Brazos River did not crest like they had expected it to so the Team has not had to evacuate. Missouri City dispatchers presented the Team with some t shirts as a sign of their appreciation. We have been advised that Missouri City will be deactivating their EOC on 9/2/17 and the Team will no longer be needed.
