When Disaster Strikes: Lessons from the Texas Flood Response

When Disaster Strikes: Lessons from the Texas Flood Response
Sponsored by Samsung

When large-scale disasters strike, law enforcement agencies are forced to make rapid decisions in highly dynamic, resource-constrained environments. This webinar examines real-world lessons learned from the July 2025 Texas flood response and explores how modern public safety technology can support faster decision-making, improved coordination, and enhanced officer and community safety during critical incidents.

Drawing from operational experience, this discussion focuses on how law enforcement agencies can leverage mobile technology, real-time information sharing, situational awareness tools, and resilient communications when traditional infrastructure is disrupted. Panelists address what worked, what did not, and how agencies can better prepare for future disasters through thoughtful technology integration and planning.

Key topics include:

Law enforcement operational challenges during large-scale flood and disaster responses

The role of mobile devices and resilient communications in degraded environments

Real-time intelligence sharing and situational awareness across agencies

Technology considerations for command staff, supervisors, and field personnel

Lessons learned that can inform future disaster preparedness and response planning

This webinar is sponsored by Samsung, whose commitment to public safety focuses on equipping law enforcement agencies with secure, mission-ready mobile technology designed to perform in demanding and unpredictable conditions.

Whether you are a chief, sheriff, technology manager, emergency planner, or frontline supervisor, this session offers practical insights into how technology can strengthen law enforcement response when it matters most.
