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.

Emergency Notification System

WCT Social Media

The Capital Area Council of Governments and its partners offer an emergency notification system to residents of Central Texas. Registering with WarnCentralTexas allows local officials to contact their communities by phone, email and text during times of disasters or public safety events. These notifications can be generated geographically specific.  By registering, you determine the time and method of notifications.

Warning Types

The Bastrop County Office of Emergency Management will utilize these same warning colors on the Bastrop County OEM Facebook emergency posts.
