The City of Austin's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management serves as the coordinating focal point for preparedness, response, recovery, and education in an emergency or disaster that disrupts the community. Carrying out this task requires this office to ensure all City departments and partner agencies in the region are prepared to respond to a disaster and ready to work together. Each year we want to ensure that we are providing training to these agencies to help us be a more disaster prepared and resilient community.
