Welcome to the Resilience Navigation Portal

This website is designed to support neighborhoods, families and individuals in Austin to find information about emergency weather response that is most important and relevant to you and your family. Whether you are planning ahead for extreme weather or dealing with it right now, we hope you can find what you need here. Please help us keep improving by giving us your input with this feedback form.
This page is produced by Community Resilience Trust (CRT Austin). When weather is severe and when possible, CRT creates virtual space where organizers can coordinate responses with each other and sometimes with the city and county. When there is extreme weather and we are active, you will see it a section towards the top of this page.
You can use the menu at the top of the page to find your way. The accessibility button to the left will help you adjust for any disabilities. Many pages have ASL videos, family-friendly videos, and graphics with more pictures and less text. At the bottom of the page is the language tab where you can adjust the language in which you view this page.

If ice is predicted: Get supplies ready in case you need to stay home for many days without power. Get extra water, non-perishable food, pet food, and fast-burn logs for cooking outside. If you don’t have one, get an electric heater.

Have extra batteries for radios and flashlights. 

Think about each person’s special needs, like medicine. 

Don’t forget about your pets. Bring them inside and lock pet doors.

Cover pipes and drip faucets.

Cover windows with bubble wrap for extra insulation.

In addition to buying bottled water, store extra water in bathtub, sink or containers.

Alert vulnerable neighbors and share warming supplies. Think about people who are unhoused, older adults, and people living alone or with physical disabilities.
