During the simulation, officials from Entergy tested processes which included:

Entergy Texas CEO and President Eliecer Viamontes said, “The meticulous staging site setup and engaging simulation at our command center showcased the dedication and expertise that underpin our commitment to ensuring the safety of our communities.”
The Montgomery County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management in Conroe on May 27th received the donation of a backup generator from CenterPoint Energy. Twenty of these generators are being installed by CenterPoint across the Greater Houston area to produce additional power capacity for any long-term outages which are caused by natural disasters.
