On behalf of Piedras Negras, officials from Mexican Customs were also on hand to participate. David Zimov, American Consulate from Laredo was also present plus authorities from US Customs and Border Protection. Zimov expressed his concern with the recent problems in Piedras Negras and authorities simply want to insure open lines of communication between the two nations. He also added that the planting of the inert explosive device last week affected both countries due to emergency procedures and several ideas have been bantered about which could go into effect within the coming months. He added that there is presently a warning system in place that will alert citizens of an emergency via a text messaging system.
