Travis County said it would take emergency measures ahead of the total solar eclipse set to take place in exactly one month.
The declaration was in anticipation of large crowds, increased traffic and strains on first responders, hospitals and roads related to the eclipse. Travis County Judge Andy Brown issued the declaration.
Several other cities/counties in the area have also done similar. Many schools will be closed to keep buses off of the roads.
