Austin’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management will host its next Emergency Preparedness Pop-Up at the Ruiz Branch Library on Wednesday, Aug. 21, 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.
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 people to arrive will receive an emergency supply kit, with a limit of one per household.
According to the city, 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.
