Public safety agencies from across the Dallas-Fort Worth region are launching MetroX, a multiday emergency response exercise running Oct. 27-29, 2025, that will simulate terrorist attacks, mass-casualty incidents and other crises.
The exercise will involve police, fire, EMS, hospitals, school districts, dispatch centers, emergency managers and city officials from multiple jurisdictions.
Organized by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), the drill is designed to test and strengthen regional coordination, communications and operational readiness ahead of large-scale events.
Residents may see and hear simulated gunfire, emergency vehicles and role players acting as victims near sites including stadiums and public safety facilities.
