Join the Mississippi State University Office of Emergency Management for the PrepareAthon and Build-A-Kit Event, a hands-on experience designed to help students, faculty and staff become better prepared for emergencies and disasters.

Participants will have the opportunity to:
✅ Build their own emergency preparedness kit with essential supplies.
✅ Engage with local and state emergency responders and learn about their roles in disaster response.
✅ Gain valuable preparedness tips for severe weather, medical emergencies and campus-specific hazards.
✅ Discover resources available to help navigate crises effectively.
