Tuscaloosa County EMA's Events
Tuscaloosa County EMA loves working events. Our job is to educate the public on how to prepare and what to do in disasters. At some of the events we attend, we actually get to not just do public education but also exercise and test equipment in preparation for emergencies.
If you would like to invite us to an event, you can request us by emailing us or filling out the contact form Here
