Our office is committed to keeping the community safe and prepared. We offer a variety of free, interactive workshops or presentations and services designed to help residents reduce risks, protect their homes, and respond effectively to emergencies.

Because every community’s needs are different, we can also customize sessions by blending topics. Many of our workshops naturally overlap, so we often combine elements into a single presentation to provide the most relevant and useful information for your group. Whether you’re looking for a focused session or a broader overview, we’ll work with you to create the right fit.

To better serve your needs, we offer different formats:

  • Presentations – A structured overview led by our team, perfect for groups who want to learn and ask a few questions.
  • Workshops – Hands-on and interactive, designed to actively engage participants in building skills and applying what they learn.

If you are interested in any of our workshops, presentations, or services please reach out to our office at (512) 854-4621 or email [email protected]
