Emergency Management 101

What is Emergency Management?

EM 101 is your introduction to the field — from how disasters are planned for, to how communities respond and recover. This session will break down the basics, explain how local emergency managers support public safety, and highlight the behind-the-scenes work that helps keep residents safe before, during, and after an emergency.

We’ll also answer some of the most frequently asked questions about Haltom City’s emergency alerts, sirens, preparedness tips, and how you can get involved.

Whether you're a curious resident or just want to better understand how your community prepares for the unexpected, this presentation will give you a solid foundation!
