Disaster Preparedness: The Basics
2024-01-25 18:30 - 20:00 | Virtual Meeting, WA
Have you ever wondered what you’ll do should an event disrupt your normal routine? What about your family or friends?

This presentation will provide an overview of the hazards that can impact Seattle, and steps community members can take to become prepared for the unexpected. Participants will receive guidance on how to develop a disaster plan, build a disaster supply kit, and organize with your neighbors to become better prepared. You’ll also receive an overview of other OEM efforts including the SNAP program, Community Emergency Hubs, and the City’s new alert and notification system, Alert Seattle.
Intended Audience: This presentation is intended for a broad array of audiences. This could include a business or non-profit organization looking to increase the personal preparedness of its employees. It could also include a community group looking to improve the personal preparedness of the neighborhood or people they serve.
