The mission of the City of San Marcos Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is to build, sustain and improve the capability of the citizens to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from and mitigate natural and man-made disasters.
San Marcos OEM uses the CAPCOG Regional Notification System to notify residents about specific emergencies and community information. Cell phone users must register at WarnCentralTexas.org to receive the notification system’s messages by phone, email and text. For the most up-to-date information about City of San Marcos operations, monitor city social media on Twitter, @CityofSanMarcos, or Facebook, www.facebook.com/CityofSanMarcos. Additionally, updates will be posted on the city’s website at SanMarcosTX.gov. City disaster recovery information will be posted online and will also be available on the City municipal television station (Spectrum Channel 10 and Grande Channel 123-16).
If you require emergency assistance, call 911. Do not post emergency requests or send emergency messages to County social media accounts.

WarnCentralTexas.org serves as a public portal for residents to register for our Regional Notification System (RNS) and learn about other ways their local communities distribute information in times of emergencies. WarnCentralTexas.org also is being developed as a regional preparedness resource so residents in the ten-county CAPCOG region can find useful information about how they can prepare themselves for emergencies and disasters.
The Capital Area Council of Governments and its partners are pleased to offer an emergency notification system to residents of Central Texas. Registering at WarnCentralTexas.org allows local officials to contact their communities by phone, email and text during times of disasters or public safety events.
Messages sent through the RNS are generated by the local jurisdictions participating in this program. CAPCOG does not send messages to residents.
