"Preparing for the Annular Eclipse: A Guide to Best Towns and Glasses"

Emergency responders in the Hill Country are collaborating to create a safety plan for the influx of people expected to visit the area to view the annular eclipse next month. With an estimated 800,000 to 1.5 million visitors, the main concern is managing traffic congestion and keeping intersections and highways open for emergency services. To prevent overwhelming 911 dispatchers, Kendall County is considering opening a phone bank for non-emergency calls. Fire departments are urging visitors to be aware of the ongoing drought and fire danger, while the Hill Country Alliance advises people to prepare for limited resources, including internet access, and suggests printing paper maps for navigation.
