A health and safety team representative for PHARR‑SAN JUAN‑ALAMO ISD told attendees at the South Texas All Hazard Conference that the district is sharing its emergency response and student reunification procedures with neighboring districts and regional partners.

The representative said the district is committed to community support and, "if there's a need, we're ready to open up shelters in time of need or crisis."

The presentation, the representative said, aimed to let other school districts and organizations see how PSJA sorts through different emergencies and to exchange lessons learned.

The session was informational; no formal motions or votes were recorded in the presentation. The representative did not provide specific operational timelines, funding figures, or shelter capacity numbers during the talk; those details were not specified.
