Lavaca County OEM COVID-19 Response The Texas Department of State Health Services is beginning to transition back into normal operations, and weekly COVID-19 County Reports will be discontinued. Case counts can still be obtained from the statewide dashboard here. With COVID-19 vaccines now widely available and new infections and hospitalizations down significantly, this information no longer provides the benefit it did during the height of the pandemic. Additional information on the COVID-19 Response may be obtained on the Department of State Health Services - Public Health Region 8 - COVID-19 Website.
Hazardous Weather
90-Day Observed Precipitation At the request of Lavaca County OEM, the National Weather Service in Austin San Antonio has provided this 90 day rainfall total map to share with you. The map uses radar estimates, but corrects it with known gauge data and considered a really good guess and estimate. Paul Yura with NWS Austin San Antonio reports that a CoCoRaHS gauge in the south part of the county has recorded over 30 inches of rainfall since May 1st.

Regardless of our forecast, we always recommend that each individual determine what level of activity they should conduct based on the actual local conditions.
Lavaca County Air Quality Index Monday 07/19/2021 Increased cloud cover with areas of isolated precipitation, and/or lower incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the "Good" range in most spots. Tuesday 07/20/2021 Moderate winds, heavier cloud cover with areas of isolated to scattered precipitation, and/or lower incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the "Good" range in most spots. Wednesday 07/21/2021 Outlook Increased fine particulate levels associated with a combination of filtering smoke from wildfire activity in the Pacific Northwest and building continental haze behind a weakening stalled frontal boundary could eventually impact portions of the state North of a line from Laredo to Corpus Christi and raise the daily PM2.5 AQI to the upper end of the "Good" range (perhaps with an isolated low "Moderate" or two) in parts of the Laredo and Victoria areas. Otherwise and elsewhere across South Texas, increased cloud cover with isolated precipitation, and/or lower incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the "Good" range in most spots. Thursday 07/22/2021 Outlook Decreasing cloud cover, and/or lower incoming background levels should help keep air quality in the "Good" range in most spots.

How many people are injured or killed during a HOT response by EMS
vehicles?
How many EMS providers have been injured or killed during a HOT
response?
Is there any difference in patient outcomes from a HOT or COLD response?
What REALLY is the public's expectation when it comes to HOT responses?
What are the things that are preventing people from calling 911 for EMS
(hint - it's the 'spectacle' it creates)?
Get the answers to those questions and more!
