Our mission is to help ensure Guadalupe County is prepared to respond to emergencies of all types, including severe weather, flooding, wildfires, hazardous materials incidents, public health emergencies, and other natural or man-made disasters.

 

Emergency management is built on strong partnerships. We work closely with local governments, public safety agencies, school districts, hospitals, utility providers, volunteer organizations, private industry, state agencies, and federal partners to develop comprehensive emergency plans, coordinate resources, and support our communities during emergencies.

Through planning, training, exercises, public education, and disaster recovery, we help build a stronger, safer, and more resilient Guadalupe County.

New World Screwworm Information

New World Screwworms (NWS) are parasitic flies (Cochliomyia hominivorax) that lay eggs in open wounds or mucous membranes such as the nostrils, eyes or mouths of live-warm-blooded animals. These eggs hatch into a type of parasitic larvae (maggots) that only feeds on live tissue, while other species of fly larvae prefer dead or rotting tissue. 

With the recent emergence of New World Screwworm in Texas it has raised significant agricultural related concerns. Screwworms in livestock can lead to the animal’s death and can severely impact ranchers and the agricultural industry. If you suspect a pet, livestock, or a wild animal has New World Screwworms, get help as soon as possible so it can be identified early to limit its spread. Early identification is critical to protecting both animals and livelihoods. 

Reporting is critical if you suspect NWS infestation:
