SAN ANTONIO \u2013 City Council members will hold a special meeting on Monday morning at City Hall to review how San Antonio responds to emergencies, two months after two home explosions sent at least five people to the hospital.<\/p>\n
The meeting at 10 a.m. will be livestreamed in this article. Delays are possible; if there\u2019s no livestream available, check back at a later time.<\/p>\n
Councilmembers Marc Whyte, Marina Alderete Gavito and Teri Castillo requested the meeting. They are asking for a step-by-step look at the city\u2019s emergency response plans, including who is responsible for what when a crisis happens.<\/p>\n
The discussion is expected to focus on how city departments coordinate with utilities, the San Antonio Police Department, the San Antonio Fire Department and other emergency responders.<\/p>\n
Council members also want to identify what can be improved before the next emergency, including public awareness, communication between agencies and how the community is kept informed during a crisis.<\/p>\n
The meeting comes after two home explosions on April 21 that happened near each other but hours apart. At least five people were hospitalized, including a CPS Energy worker.<\/p>\n
City leaders have said the meeting will not include details that have not been released by the National Transportation Safety Board, which is still investigating.<\/p>\n
Preliminary information released so far says the explosions were fueled by natural gas. The gas main and service lines involved were installed in 1993.<\/p>\n
The two families involved have filed lawsuits against CPS Energy.<\/p>\n
