​​​​​if the sirens are blarin' -- you should be preparin'

​​​	​​​​do you know what this is? ​​​

​ ​​​​COPPELL'S OUTDOOR WARNING SYSTEM (OWS)​​​​​

​​When Do They Sound?​​​​​

The sirens are sounded when there is a dangerous situation occurring​ outside, and are intended to be a cue​ for residents to seek additional information. Sirens will be sounded given one or more of the following conditions: The National Weather Service (NWS) issues a Tornado Warning for Dallas, Tarrant, or Denton County that may impact the City of Coppell; and/or, Tornadic activity has been reported by a reliable source in or approaching the City of Coppell; or, Severe Thunderstorms with destructive winds in excess of 7​0 mph are occurring or are about to occur within city limits; or, Hail 1.25" (about the size of a ping-pong ball) in diameter or larger is occurring or is expected to occur within city limits; or, A Hazardous Chemical Emergency has occurred and has the potential to affect the city; or, Monthly testing; or, Other emergencies, as deemed necessary by City of Coppell administration.

​​ ​The City of Coppell currently operates seventeen (17) sirens strategically placed throughout the city.

​​​​How Do They Work?​

On any given day, during an emergency or for testing purposes, Coppell's OWS is activated by the Emergency Management Coordinator. He has the ability to activate all 17 sirens at once, or activate a select few sirens depending on the location of the emergency. 

​Sirens are activated locally for the conditions outlaid above.​​ All activations of the siren emit a 3-minute steady tone (click icon to the right​ for example).  If the threat persists, the steady tone may be reactivated for additional 3-minute increments as the threat continues. In addition to the steady tone, the OWS can also function as a city-wide public address system, capable or relaying voice alerts and other tones. There is NO "all clear" signal.

​​​​​What Should You Do When You Hear Them?​

• When the Outdoor Warning System sirens activate, stay calm and immediately seek safe shelter inside.
• Listen to the NOAA All Hazards Radio, or local television/radio stations for additional information and specific instructions.
  
• Remain indoors until the emergency has ended.
• Remember, the Outdoor Warning System is not intended nor designed to be heard in your home or other indoor locations. Always have more than one means of receiving emergency alerts!

​​​​​​​When Are They Tested?

• ​Weather permitting, the City of Coppell audibly tests the OWS sirens on the first Wednesday of every month at 1:00 PM.
  
• The City also silently tests the sirens twice daily within the activation software: this is to ensure that all sirens are always maintained in good working order.
• Several other municipalities within the North Central Texas Council of Governments are also test their warning sirens at the same time, based upon agreed OWS activation guidelines.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​CURRENT ACTIVITY

​FOR A CURRENT MOSQUITO CONTROL ACTIVITY MAP, CLICK HERE.​

The Coppell Environmental Health Department staff conducts mosquito control activities year-round but increases those efforts from April through October, the most active mosquito season in North Texas.The Health Department works along with the Texas Department of State Health Services, Dallas County Health and Human Services Department and area health departments to conduct surveillance and testing of the mosquito population for diseases including West Nile virus. The Environmental Health Department will continue to protect the health and well-being of  residents through surveillance, control, education, research, and technology to prevent and control mosquito-borne diseases.

​

Spraying For Mosquitoes

During the mosquito trapping season, the Environmental Health Department receives notification on Monday around Noon regarding the presence of West Nile Virus (WNV) in mosquito traps. Effective Monday, August 7, 2017, spraying will be conducted on Monday and Tuesday between the hours of 9 pm and 5 am in areas where mosquitoes have tested positive for WNV. As a precaution, when spraying takes place in your neighborhood residents are recommended to stay indoors. The purpose of spraying is to reduce the infected mosquito population, thus reducing the risk to residents and animals.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Mosquito Trapping​
Mosquito trapping begins in the spring, and continues until mosquito activity decreases, typically early fall.  The trapped mosquitoes are sent to a laboratory where they are tested for the presence of West Nile Virus.  Spraying activity will begin when notification is received that there is a positive mosquito sample of West Nile Virus.

​How To Persona​lly ​Protect Yourself Against Mosquito Borne Illnesses​

Take every precaution to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes if at all possible.

Remember the 4 D’s: Defend, Dress, Dusk & Dawn, and Drain.

• Defend yourself by applying insect repellant that contains DEET, Picaridin, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus* or PMD. Use repellant all day, every day.
• Dress in long sleeves and pants.
• Stay indoors at dusk and d​awn.
• Drain all stagnant water in your yard.
• Additionally, you should p​rotect your home by using screens to keep mosquitoes outside. Use the air conditioning when possible.

Texas climate is always unpredictable and temperatures vary throughout the seasons.  As a result, mosquito season in Texas is year-round.  The Environmental Health Department's goal is to begin reducing mosquito populations as early in the season as possible. By eliminating containers, cleaning rain gutters, and maintaining swimming and ornamental pools you can stop the mosquito life cycle in its tracks.

DART Cotton Belt Corridor Field Work: February 19-March 31​

​​​Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) staff and contractors responding to DART's solicitation for Cotton Belt design and construction will be collecting data along the Cotton Belt corridor from February 19 to March 31. This is part of the necessary preparation for the project.

The majority of the data collection will be conducted in and along the railroad right of way. Any access of private property will be coordinated with the owner in advance of the work, and property owners may refuse to grant access. ​The types of field work being performed include:

• Soil borings to collect information about soil conditions
  
• Examination of surface features that indicate the presence of underground utilities
  
• Cultural and Historic Resource Observations
  

Most of these activities will occur during daylight hours and will require heavy equipment for soil borings. Coppell residents may see equipment that is truck mounted or mounted on rubber track crawler carriers​.

About the Cotton Belt Corridor Project​

​​​​​​​​The DART Cotton Belt Rail Line Project is a 26-mile line that will extend from DFW Airport to Shiloh Road in Plano and ​ traverse seven cities, including Coppell. The Cotton Belt Project’s primary purpose is to provide passenger rail connections and service that will improve mobility, accessibility and system linkages to major employment, population and activity centers in the northern part of the DART Service Area. The Cotton Belt Project would interface with three DART LRT lines: The Red Line in Richardson/Plano, the Green Line in Carrollton and the Orange Line at DFW Airport. Also at DFW Airport the project would connect to Fort Worth Transit Authority's TEX Rail Regional Rail Line to Fort Worth and the DFW Airport Skylink People Mover. 

The City of Coppell hosted two public meetings on March 1 and March 9, 2017 to provide an update on the planned DART Cotton Belt Rail Line Project. For more information about the background and development of the project, watch the March 9, 2017 meeting or view the March 9, 2017 presentation. 

​The City of Coppell is doing what we can to influence DART to the best interest of the Coppell citizenry​. ​This includes the adoption of a resolution on June 13, 2017 by the Mayor and City Council stating: 

"The City of Coppell fully supports DART Board redesign and realignment of the Cotton Belt Rail line throughout Coppell from Luna Road westward to Freeport Parkway, which would incorporate a Southern reconfiguration to provide a station in the Northlake/Cypress Water Campus subject to grade separation, quiet zones, sound walls and trail by rail segments along the entire route through Coppell."  ​

Read the entire resolution​.

The time and appearance date on which you are expected to appear are located in the body of the notice.

Municipal Court Authority and Jurisdiction

The single most important source of municipal court authority and jurisdiction is the Texas Constitution which gives the state legislature the power to establish courts and their jurisdiction when it sees fit. The legislature exercised this power and first created municipal courts in the Corporation Court Law of 1899. This law has been codified in the Texas Government Code. Municipal courts also look to various other statutes and codes for authority and jurisdiction.
--Provided by the Texas Municipal Courts Education Center

The source of Court of Record Authority is the State of Texas Government Code, Chapter 30, Subchapter L.L.--Coppell. In addition, the following also authorize the Court: Coppell City Code, Chapter 5; 1996 Edition, and Art. 5 Sec. 31 Texas Constitution.
