I like that statement from the Houston Police Department: "The public should not be alarmed and does not need to call 9-1-1 during the training exercises."
They could have added: "If you DO call 9-1-1, please allow the usual 2-hour response time for us to show up. If it's urgent, please dial 9-1-1 and then keep hitting the #, #, #, # symbol on your phone. It won't help... but it might make you feel better while waiting 2-hours for a response." :>)
