Austin and Travis County residents should prepare to receive multiple emergency alerts on Thursday, April 2, as local government agencies participate in a statewide test of public warning systems.

What residents need to know: The Texas Division of Emergency Management announced the first-of-its-kind statewide testing of local alerting systems earlier this month. Locally, both Austin and Travis County have been preparing for the drills for weeks. Most residents will likely receive location-based Integrated Public Alert & Warning System, or IPAWS, wireless alerts, while those who are subscribed to Warn Central Texas will also receive alerts through that system.

School districts, colleges and universities, river authorities, and other law enforcement or emergency management agencies may test their systems as well.

Officials urged residents to both subscribe to emergency alerts through WarnCentralTexas.org, and ensure their cellphone settings allow other alerts to come through.

The South Terminal at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is officially shutting down March 31 after less than a decade in operation.

The details: The auxiliary terminal is being demolished to make way for new midfield taxiways as part of the multiyear "Journey with AUS" campus expansion. That includes the addition of the 26-gate Concourse B with a new connecting tunnel to the existing Barbara Jordan Terminal, and the development of a temporary six-gate southern terminal called Concourse M.

The South Terminal was initially expected to have a longer presence at ABIA, and its early closure led to costly legal proceedings between the city and former facility operator LoneStar Airport Holdings.

What else: Ahead of the South Terminal closure, Austin Aviation unveiled its initial designs for the nearly 38,000-square-foot Concourse M. Its gates on the west side of ABIA's airfield are meant for relief and diversions during Journey with AUS construction as the Barbara Jordan Terminal is expanded and improved, and while Concourse B remains in development.
