Summer brings hazards like wildfire and heat to Central Texas. To help our community prepare, Austin’s Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HSEM) will host an Emergency Preparedness Pop-Up at the Spicewood Springs Branch Library on Tuesday, June 18, 2024 from 4-7 p.m. Events are normally the third Wednesday of the month, however on Wednesday, June 19 City facilities will be closed in honor of Juneteenth.

Event: Emergency Preparedness Pop-Up Event
Time: Tuesday, June 18, 2024, 4-7 p.m.
Location: Spicewood Springs Branch Library, 8637 Spicewood Springs Rd, Austin, TX 78759

Representatives from HSEM along with other City departments and partners in public safety 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.

For members of the Central Texas community, our Emergency Preparedness Pop-Ups are an opportunity to learn about getting prepared before emergencies and stock up on free supplies. Our Basic Emergency Preparedness Kits come full of 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.

This pop-up event is part of a monthly series hosted by HSEM in each City Council District throughout the year. To learn more about how the four steps of emergency preparedness or upcoming Emergency Preparedness Pop-Ups, visit ReadyCentralTexas.org.
