APRIL ECLIPSE PREPAREDNESS - CITY ISSUES DISASTER DECLARATION
03/14/2024

Mark your calendars because a spectacular celestial event is headed our way! On April 8, 2024, the city is in for a breathtaking total eclipse of the sun. Here are some tips to make sure you're fully prepared:

 

  • Plan Ahead for Heavy Traffic: Total eclipses attract crowds, so expect heavy traffic on the roads leading to prime viewing spots. Leave early and consider carpooling to minimize congestion.

 

  • Top Up Your Fuel Tank: With increased traffic, fuel stations may experience long lines or even shortages. Fill up your tank ahead of time to avoid any last-minute panic.

 

  • Charge Your Devices: During the eclipse, cell phone networks may become overloaded with people trying to capture and share the experience. Make sure your devices are fully charged beforehand and consider bringing portable chargers.

 

  • Pack Essentials: Don't forget to bring along essentials like water, snacks, sunscreen, and protective eyewear for safe viewing. It's better to be overprepared than underprepared!

 

  • Have a Backup Plan: Weather can be unpredictable, so have a backup plan in case clouds obstruct the view at your chosen location. Scout out alternative viewing spots in advance.

 

The City of Manor has also issued a Local Disaster Declaration that will aid city officials and emergency responders during the event. The Declaration also requires any private property owner who intends to host 50 or more people on their property for the event to register that event with Travis County at the following link: 2024 Eclipse Event Registration. This information will allow emergency responders to better prepare for traffic congestion, roadway conditions, response times, and related issues.
