Pictured from left to right are: Weinert mayor, Julian Estrada; Munday mayor, Bunny Norville; Texas Department of Public Safety Emergency Management instructor, Jerry Huffman; and Weinert Public Works Director, Patricia Horan. All of these community leaders attended Intermediate Incident Command System for Supervisors and Expanding Incidents, I-300 and Advanced Incident Command System for Command and General Staff complex incidents, I-400. Both courses are part of the National Incident Managing System (NIMS) curriculum for Emergency Management. County and local elected officials and other leaders are required by the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) to take these two courses and other courses on-line to become certified local emergency leaders. Estrada, Horan and Norville are now certified to be incident leaders if a disaster of some kind hits Weinert or Munday.
