To help prepare the community, Austin’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management will host its next Emergency Preparedness Pop-Up at the Twin Oaks Branch Library on Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024 from 4-7 p.m. This pop-up event is part of a monthly series hosted by HSEM in each City Council District throughout the year on the third Wednesday of each month.

Event: Emergency Preparedness Pop-Up Event
Time: Wednesday, October 16, 2024 / 4 p.m. - 7 p.m. 
Location: Twin Oaks Branch Library, 1800 S Fifth St, Austin, TX 78704

Representatives from HSEM along with other City departments and partners in emergency response will be on site to provide tips, information, and supplies. The first 25 guests will receive an emergency supply kit, with a limit of one per household. 

Emergency Preparedness Pop-ups are an opportunity for the Central Texas community explore preparedness, and stock up on free supplies. Our Basic Emergency Preparedness Kits include items that can value over $100 including a backpack, lanterns, glow sticks, personal cooling supplies, battery powered chargers, NOAA weather radios, Neighborhood Preparedness Guides, and items for kids and pets. Considering the variety of hazards in this area, including flooding, wildfires, extreme heat, and winter storms, it is important for our community to know the essential steps before, during, and after emergencies.
