          [Solar Eclipse Public Safety Response]
          [00:00:02]
          IT TURNS OUT TRAFFIC DID NOT BECOME AN ISSUE IN GRAND PRAIRIE DURING MONDAY'S SOLAR ECLIPSE AS A PRECAUTION FOR A POSSIBLE SURGE IN TRAFFIC OFFICIAL STATION PATROL CARS ON THE MAJOR ROADWAYS AND CALLED IN EXTRA POLICE, FIRE AND OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS, GRAND PRAIRIE 9 1 1 WITH THE ADDRESS OF YOUR EMERGENCY. 
          AND THE CITY TOOK STEPS TO KEEP THE LINES CLEAR. 
          AT THE NINE ONE ONE EMERGENCY CALL CENTER, WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT THERE COULD BE A SURGE IN 9 1 1 CALLS TO HELP MITIGATE THAT. 
          OUR 9 1 1 DISPATCH CENTER, ALONG WITH OUR IT DEPARTMENT, HAS COME TOGETHER AND CREATED A ROLLOVER PLAN. 
          SO IF SOMEONE CALLS WITH A NON-EMERGENCY, UM, COMPLAINT OR ISSUE, THEY'RE ABLE TO ROLL THAT VERY QUICKLY, UH, TO SOMEONE ELSE. 
          SO THOSE DISPATCHERS CAN QUICKLY ANSWER THOSE. 
          UM, THOSE 9 1 1 CALLS COMING IN THE CITY ALSO ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER TO KEEP WALKS DURING THE THREE HOUR EVENT. 
          BUT BY LATE AFTERNOON, AUTHORITIES REPORTED EMERGENCY CALLS AND RESPONSES WERE RUNNING ABOUT NORMAL FOR A MONDAY. 
          SO THE ONLY DRAMA ON THIS ECLIPSE WAS THE SUN AND MOON DOING A SLOW DANCE ACROSS THE SKY.
