Disaster Prep, Survival Course Coming To Dauphin Island

The Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service is hosting a free disaster preparedness and survival course on how to prepare for, survive and recover from a disaster at the Dauphin Island Community Center on February 27-28, 2026. In the course, participants will learn the logic behind the decision to evacuate or shelter in place and what to do once they make it. This course follows a “me, we, they” approach to prepare participants to care for themselves, their families and their communities before, during and after a disaster. Through a combination of facilitated discussions and hands-on activities based on real-life scenarios, the instructors will demonstrate how planning, preparedness and responsible actions may increase the chances of both surviving a disaster and recovering from it quicker.
