How TEN Works

TEN puts the power of the latest technology to work.

Unlike TxDOT bulb-based displays, the Texas Emergency Network utilizes the highest resolution commercial displays available. The result is high-impact emergency messages disseminated in just minutes.

The TEN Message Cycle

• An emergency occurs that affects public safety.
• The details of the emergency are communicated to first responders as well as emergency management control rooms.
• An emergency message or alert is created and uploaded to the digital displays.
• Within minutes, local citizens and motorists along high-traffic roadways see the message and take appropriate action.
