Tuesday, August 20, 2024 by Elizabeth Pagano
As part of an ongoing effort to help prepare our community for emergencies, Austin’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management will host a pop-up at the Ruiz Branch Library from 4-7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 21. HSEM representatives and other staff members will be on hand to offer information, tips and supplies. In addition, the first 25 guests will receive an emergency supply kit that contains things like lanterns, glow sticks, cooling supplies, chargers, weather radios and guides. The event is part of a monthly series, held on the third Wednesday of the month in each Council district.
