Home Retrofit

Register at goo.gl…
Help reduce damage caused during an earthquake. Learn to become an informed consumer or how to do home retrofit yourself. Retrofit experts will show how to assess your home’s needs and how to use the City of Seattle’s pre-engineered Home Retrofit plans to permit and retrofit your home.
Prior to 1980, building codes did not require builders to secure houses to their foundations. This does not mean that every house built before 1980 is “unsecured”, only that it was not a requirement. If your home is not properly secured, it may be at increased risk of “slipping” off the foundation during a major earthquake. Retrofitting involves bolting your home to its foundation and providing sheer/pony wall strength

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.
