Phinney Hub Drill
2023-09-09 13:15 - 15:30 | Phinney Neighborhood Center, 6532 Phinney Ave. N, Seattle, WA, 98103, United States
The Phinney Hub is conducting an emergency drill Saturday, Sept. 9th from 1:15 to 3:30. It will be conducted in the PNA upper parking lot (6532 Phinney Ave N). In a disaster (such as an earthquake), people will come together to help each other. It’s human nature. The Hub will help make this happen.

Come to the drill to see how the Phinney Hub facilitates “Neighbors helping Neighbors”
Make room on your calendar so you can participate. To ensure the drill runs smoothly, it’s very helpful for us to know how many participants to expect. If you will be coming to the drill, please send a reply indicating you plan to come and how many (if more than just you)
The drill will be on-going until 3:30. Come when you can. Stay as long as you want.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at phinneyhub@gmail.com
