Air Quality

Ozone season is here and the CAPCOG Air Quality Program works to keep people informed of the region's air quality with AirCentralTexas.org.

Alert your Residents

It allows those public safety officials to give residents actionable warnings and alerts during disasters. Alert messages are generated and distributed by local public safety personnel and not CAPCOG.

Formed in 1970, it is one of 24 councils of governments in the state of Texas that serves those same communities as an advocate, planner and coordinator of regionalism.
