The Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management seeks to promote a safer, less vulnerable County with the capacity to cope with disasters and emergencies.

The Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management provides leadership, coordination and support for efforts to prevent, prepare for, respond to, recover from and mitigate against threatened or actual natural and man-made disasters and acts of terrorism.

As a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador, we work with NOAA and other Ambassadors to strengthen national resilience against extreme weather.
