About the 2025 Calendar

For the 2025 calendar, the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) partnered with the Travis County Office of Emergency Management (TCOEM) to engage Kindergarten through 8th graders and their families across Central Texas to share what they believed to be the most important safety information.

Each month features artwork related to emergency awareness or preparedness, as well as action items individuals and families could accomplish for the month. The calendar showcases the importance of making a plan and discussing as a family the importance of taking steps to prepare for all around emergencies. 

Thank you from all the staff at HSEM and TCOEM for the amazing submissions. We cannot wait to see what our future artists will create next year. We look forward to continuing to partner with our local young artists, schools, and everyone in-between who makes these important community preparedness projects possible.
