What We Do

This article from the National Institutes of Health, “Conceptualizing and Defining Public Health Emergency Preparedness,” helps explain what PHEP is and how we help in emergency situations.

State Of Texas Emergency Assistance Registry

Do you or anyone you know need some assistance during times of an emergency event? The state of Texas presents the STEAR program.

The STEAR program is a free registry that provides local emergency planners and emergency responders with additional information on the needs in their community. Texas communities use the registry information in different ways. Registering yourself in the STEAR registry does not guarantee that you will receive a specific service during an emergency. Available services will vary by community.

Seasonal Resources

When it comes to outdoor autumn activities, be aware of potential risks and practice  weather safety. Remember, a moment of distraction can have serious consequences.
