Together, Coastal Bend CAN!

HAVE A PLAN & BE PREPARED…

Started in 2012, the Coastal Bend Coordination and Alert Network (CBCAN) provides tools for response agencies that help any Coastal Bend & South Texas community be better prepared for local emergencies and resilient to major disasters. We encourage all jurisdictions, response and support agencies, responders, local businesses, staff, and residents from across the region to join with others from South Texas to prepare for emergencies. Return to this site often to learn more about how you can prepare for an emergency for your family, your community and with others.

CBCAN is part of the ACS - Texas (ACSTX) Program. 

 

 

  Responders

Responders from across the region can register with the CBCAN Responder Database. Upon registering and creating your password, you can enter and maintain an online profile of your skills, credentials and experience that can be used by local officials when preparing or responding to disasters.

Businesses

Nueces County offers a partnership opportunity for businesses to register and if approved, be eligible for essential employees to gain post disaster re-entry access to their place of business to assist in the restoration of infrastructure and recovery of the community. If you believe your business can help meet this need and are interested in submitting an application, Click Here.

 

By working with our local communities, all local businesses can be better prepared in advance of emergencies to help ensure business continuity and improve community resiliency. We also support a community wide program for all sectors to participate in preparedness.

Volunteers

There are several volunteer groups operating in the Coastal Bend area and these groups can now register into the CBCAN Directory. Once registered many opportunities exists for these groups and their volunteers to participate in the CBCAN initiatives.

 

If you represent one of these key volunteer groups and want to sign-up, send an email to CBCAN and we can send you a secured link to complete the registration.  Many of these groups are affiliated with Citizen Corps, but this not required for registration.

 

Local Agencies

We are always looking to expand our membership and have several exciting programs and tools that can help your community be better prepared. These include tools for sending mass notifications to your residents and staff, responder credentialing and issuing standardized IDs, volunteer management, community outreach, document publishing, resource sharing and improving physical security for facilities.

 

If you represent a jurisdiction or response agency, you are already eligible to participate, so if you’re interested in learning more about these CBCAN programs, you can contact us through the link below for more information:
