SAN MARCOS, Texas — The Hays County Office of Emergency Services will conduct a coordinated test of both the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and the Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) system on Monday, Aug. 4, 2025, at approximately 3:30 p.m. CST across the entire county. This test is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure that public warning systems are fully operational and capable of quickly delivering critical information to the public in the event of an emergency. About the Alert Systems: · The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a national public warning tool that allows federal, state, and local authorities to interrupt radio, television, and cable broadcasts with important emergency information. · The Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) system allows authorized agencies to send short emergency messages directly to cell phones in targeted geographic areas. These alerts appear on devices similar to a text message, accompanied by a distinct tone and vibration.  What to Expect During the Test: · At approximately 3:30 p.m. CST, a test message will be broadcast via radio, television and cable outlets through the EAS. · Simultaneously, a WEA test message will be sent to compatible mobile phones in the County. · The messages will clearly state that they are part of a test, and no action is required from the public. “Emergency alerts save lives. By testing both WEA and EAS together, we ensure that our alerting systems are reliable, effective and ready for use when the public needs them most,” said Mike Jones, Director of Hays County Office of Emergency Services. These tests are essential for verifying that both systems function properly across different platforms and networks, and that the public is aware of what an official alert will look and sound like. The public should use this time to review their emergency plans. Media outlets are encouraged to help inform the public in advance of the test to avoid confusion. We appreciate the community’s support and understanding as we work to enhance our emergency communication capabilities.

SAN MARCOS, Texas — The Hays County Health Department (HCHD) will host its 3rd Annual Back-To-School Fair on Aug. 2, 2025, at the Election Center, located at 120 Stagecoach Trail, San Marcos. The event will offer free resources, activities and food for the community. The fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will offer vaccinations, backpacks filled with school supplies, food, paletas, haircuts, booster seats, games and activities. Various community organizations will provide games and resources at their tables. Hays County Pct. 2 Commissioner Dr. Michelle Cohen will be handing out ice cream. Hot dogs and chips offered by the San Marcos Police Department will also be available to fair visitors. The annual fair is held to promote immunizations for the upcoming school year and to create community resiliency. "This fair is an amazing opportunity for local government and organizations to come together to offer members of our community resources, whether that is vaccines, backpacks, diapers, vision or hearing screenings, or other resources and services that they otherwise may not have received,” said Matthew Gonzales, Director of the Health Department. The fair has seen significant growth in attendance, resources, and services offered over the last two years. “Each year, this fair has grown to provide more education and more resources. It’s a testament to the trust built and work done between the department and our partners and residents,” Gonzales added. Free vaccinations will be available for children under Medicaid, underinsured, uninsured, who are American Indian or Native Alaskan and enrolled in Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) requirements. Parents or legal guardians must accompany the child and bring the vaccination records of the person getting vaccinated. Providing vaccination opportunities ahead of the school year helps our communities by freeing up valuable appointment times at our family clinics, urgent and emergency care rooms during the back-to-school rush.  “If you are unable to attend the fair, we offer a mobile clinic that serves underserved areas. You can track the mobile clinic’s schedule on our website (https://www.hayscountytx.gov/vaccinations),” said Kate Esqueda, Community Outreach Specialist. “We also provide vaccination services during regular clinic hours.” The health department clinic is open Tuesday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. On the first Monday of the month, the clinic operates from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. While walk-ins are welcome, appointments are preferred. To schedule an appointment, call the Health Department at 512-393-5520.
