Emergency Preparedness Pop-Up

Austin Emergency Management (AEM) hosts monthly pop-up events on the third Wednesday each month (except September and December) at branches of the Austin Public Library. AEM 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.

Is your local library not on the list? We understand some City Council districts may have more than one public library within their boundaries. Your local library may not have been available on the desired date due to other planned events. AEM also may choose your library for a future event as we believe emergency preparedness at the individual level is an important resource that can help you, your family, and your neighbors during an emergency.
