Emergency Preparedness Pop-Up Event

Join Austin's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management at one of our monthly Emergency Preparedness Pop-Ups at a public library near you!

Austin's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) hosts monthly pop-up events at branches of the Austin Public Library. HSEM invites other public safety departments and non-government organizations to the pop-ups to promote public awareness and provide safety tips to prepare for various emergencies.

Events are held in each City Council district to provide learning opportunities across the city. Preparedness materials and other presenters may be catered to highlight and educate on specific emergencies that may be more likely strike the area of that month's event, like wildfire or flooding.

The first 25 attendees receive a basic emergency preparedness kit (limit one per household).
