Welcome to the Magnolia Village Emergency Hub
This Hub is located near 33rd Ave. West & West Smith St. in Magnolia.
Find us at the South Playfield, Southwest corner
After a major disaster, city services will be overwhelmed and a network of about 60 organized Seattle Hubs, including ours, will activate in predetermined locations.
The Magnolia Hub will activate near the community center to exchange information and to provide neighbors with a place and process to match their skills and resources with other neighbors’ needs. Our Hub use two-way radios to get news from adjacent hubs and to support mutual aid around the neighborhoods and from adjacent hubs. Seattle Emergency Hubs network is independent of the City but coordinates with local and regional emergency services where possible.
To help our neighborhood BEFORE a crisis, the Magnolia Hub provides periodic drills; preparedness materials for renters, homeowners, buildings, businesses, and organizations; and free trainings, including on stocking basic supplies like water and food which is each person’s responsibility.
The Magnolia Hub is operated solely by neighborhood volunteers who plan for risk reduction and resilience. Everyone’s welcome to join us to learn and practice together. We meet once a month at the Magnolia Library (SPL) to discuss our plans for the hub, and we often have practice drills. The next meetings will be at 6:30 pm, on September 11th, and October 9th.
