St John United Lutheran Church Hub Training

Join members from the St John United Lutheran Church who are establishing a Seattle Emergency Community Hub for the South Phinney neighborhood.  Hubs are designated places where people can go after a major disaster and help each other. They are organized and managed by local neighbors and serve to connect and help people when City and other resources are overwhelmed.

Hubs are a way to collect, coordinate and provide information on local situations, needs, and resources.  All community members are invited to learn more about the St John Hub and discuss how people can help.

The program will include both an information session followed by a hands-on demonstration of how a hub works.
