SAN PATRICIO COUNTY, Texas — The San Patricio County Sheriff's Office held a hurricane drill Friday morning. More than 21 first responders took part in the drill, including Sheriff Oscar Rivera and the National Weather Service.

"Organizations within the county, the people that we partner with and emergency operations, they all come together in a room today to discuss what kind of actions they would take if we had a storm coming toward us in the Gulf at any time," said Sara Williams, San Patricio County Emergency Management Coordinator.

It was all to revisit and revise the things they struggle with during Hurricane Harvey and to make the necessary changes to improve their call to action.
