Fort Bend County officials gathered Sept. 24 to rename the Emergency Operations Center in honor of former county judge Robert E. ‘Bob’ Hebert, who died in August. 

In a nutshell: The Robert E. "Bob" Hebert Emergency Operations Center, which was approved by Fort Bend County commissioners at an Aug. 27 meeting, is meant to honor Hebert’s dedication to public safety, County Judge Daniel Wong said.

The center opened in 2022 and replaced a 70-year-old jail house previously used by the county during emergencies, including under Hebert’s 16-year term as county judge. It gives county staff a place to gather to respond to potential emergency situations, such as weather disasters or local events. 

What they’re saying: Commissioner Vincent Morales said Hebert pushed for the new facility because he saw an increasing need for emergency responses as the county population grew. 

“Whenever disaster strikes, and whenever the county is called to protect its people, public servants will gather beneath Bob’s name and continue the work he believed in so deeply,” Morales said.
