Meteorological World Tommy House: I want to talk about how internal security in Austin and the emergency administration have emerging emergency in the center of Texas. Walking viewers through exactly.
David and Yogman: The monthly emergency popup is one of the ways in which our office goes out to society to involve people with information, supplies and resources to help them prepare for emergency situations early. We want to make sure that people know what to do before the storm rolls, before the flood occurs, before the winter storms reach any such thing, because you help so help.
If you have materials or plan in place before something happens, you will be more prepared and more able to take care of yourself until the help. We manage these events throughout the year. The “emergency population” will be held on the third Wednesday of every month, with the exception of September and December. In September, we host a larger version, a great preparation exhibition with about 25 sellers and departments. This is because September is the month of preparation for emergency.
Every month, we manage through the various areas of the city council so that we can reach the neighborhoods throughout the city. We bring partners such as public safety agencies and other organizations participating in preparation for emergency or response. They distribute useful supplies, and our table provides information about what to do in an emergency.
We also offer a set of basic emergency assignment to the first 25 people to come. People lined early to get them, they really want those basic supplies bags. The main Starter collection includes things like a manual lamp, a glowing stick, a blanket, a small group of first aid with bandages, and some other elements. It is a simple group to start.
In our kashna, you will also get more detailed information about how to create a full supply set so that you can be ready for three to seven days, whether you need a shelter in its place or evacuate your home. We provide instructions on what to do before, during and after the emergency, and cover many different types of scenarios.
house: When will the next in the Austin region?
Witrman: The next one will come on May 21 at the Manchaa Branch Library on the Manchaa Road, from 3 to 6 pm. So if people are used to coming, they should know that events begin now at 3 o’clock instead of 4.
