South Park Emergency Communication Hub

After a major earthquake or other significant event, neighbors will be the only available responders. Professional responders – Fire, Medical, Utility, Police – will be overwhelmed with emergency conditions throughout the city. The 9-1-1 system will be overwhelmed. Cellphones and the Internet might not work, and we will probably loose power for days or even weeks.
How will you get information if your phone is not working, and how do we organize our efforts to help each other? We gather at the South Park Emergency Communication Hub.

Meet in the parking lot behind the South Park Neighborhood Center.

Address: 8201 10th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98108

Our Hub box does NOT contain food or water; it contains maps, signs, and paperwork to help us organize so that Neighbors can help Neighbors find information about where to find food, water or shelter, and the latest news about what is going on. If you have tools, skills, information or supplies to share, offer them at your Hub. We will work with Seattle Auxiliary Communications Service (Seattle ACS) volunteers and other radio operators to establish communication between South Park and the city of Seattle’s Emergency Operations Center and other neighborhood hubs.

Everyone in South Park is welcome. If you live in Seattle, Unincorporated King County or is unhoused, in times of disaster and emergency we will meet at South Park Neighborhood Center to help each other.

South Park Prepares is a volunteer group working together to help prepare our neighborhood and to manage and operate Emergency Communications Hubs should a disaster occur.
We work closely with other Seattle Communities and with the Seattle Office of Emergency Management to coordinate our efforts and ensure that we are part of the larger solution to be prepared for disasters.
South Park Prepares also works to educate the community on emergency preparedness in advance of a disaster.

There are many ways you can help this effort, and we welcome any and all to participate. If you would like to join us, you can contact us by email – southpark.emergencyhubs@gmail.com
