What do you do during a major power outage, flood, or extreme weather? The Municipality of Haarlemmermeer is organizing meetings in various villages in 2026 to discuss these topics with residents. Earlier meetings took place in 2025 where residents could talk with each other and with the mayor or an alderman.

On January 20, 2026, you can join discussions at different times and locations:

  • 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM: Talk with aldermen and the mayor about the booklet ‘Prepare for an Emergency’. Shopping Center Winkel Lint BadhoevedorpNo registration needed.
