Tayyar Houston (“Tayyar” means ready in Urdu and Hindi) is PULSE’s flagship initiative helping multilingual families across Greater Houston prepare for and recover from disasters.
Through multilingual workshops, volunteer networks, and culturally familiar outreach, the program trains Readiness Champions who connect residents to vital information, resources, and human assistance before, during, and after crises. Working with city agencies, nonprofits, and South Asian community groups, Tayyar Houston breaks language barriers, builds trust, and strengthens neighborhood safety.
