Houston emergency teams preparing for what may lie ahead in 2021 including city-wide vaccine distribution

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston's Office of Emergency Management is using lessons learned from responding to the pandemic and historic weather events in 2020 to improve response and communication for what may lie ahead in 2021.
In August 2020, at least 100 first responders were re-routed to Louisiana after Hurricane Laura devastated our neighbors. The video went viral and made national headlines.
Nickea Bradley, Deputy Director for the City of Houston's Office of Emergency Management, reflected on that memorable moment and shared insight on the massive response.
"When [Hurricane] Laura didn't hit us, since we had mobilized all of our trucks and stuff for turning the electricity back on, our public works were staging for different items. We were able to immediately help our neighbors to the East of us that needed those same type of supplies," Bradley said. "Then, not even a month later, we were hit with Tropical Storm Beta, where we spent the next three days actually getting some flooding here in Houston, and mobilizing again and having those resources just fresh in our minds all over again, but our response was just two times better in my opinion."

Coronavirus Houston: Texas Medical Center security executive Brigid Roberson takes COVID-19 vaccine in honor of late grandfather

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Although the arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine ushered in newfound hope that the end to the pandemic was near, getting vaccinated was still a sad moment for some healthcare workers.
One Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center security executive said her experience was emotional because she lost her grandfather to the virus just a couple weeks before.
"I was in tears. I couldn't even control myself," said Brigid Roberson, Memorial Hermann TMC Regional Director of Security. "I hated that I got to that point, but that's how much that vaccine meant to me."
2020 was a tough year for her to do her job, she said.
