As the 911 of state government,

TEMA deals in information that changes rapidly. Part of our mission is to help state and local governments and their citizens deal with emergences and disasters as they arise; another part is to help them be prepared for such events. Information itself, both in terms of content and speed, is crucial to accomplishing these goals.

Accuracy, accessibility, speed - when it comes to information these days, such adjectives always bring things around to the internet. TEMA is no exception. Our agency is now in the process of revamping our website- updating, pruning, adding. Our goal - like all our goals, this one is a part of accomplishing our overall mission - is to turn the website into a tool you can use to have the latest, most accurate information about events in progress and preparation before events happen available to you at all times.  Please check back frequently.
