After a major disaster, city services will be overwhelmed and a network of about 60 organized Seattle Hubs, including ours, will activate in predetermined locations.
The MIQA Hubs activate near the community centers to exchange information and to provide neighbors with a place and process to match their skills and resources with other neighbors’ needs. Our Hubs use two-way radios to get news from adjacent hubs and to support mutual aid around the neighborhoods and from adjacent hubs. Seattle Emergency Hubs network is independent of the City but coordinates with local and regional emergency services where possible.
To help our neighborhood BEFORE a crisis, MIQA Hubs provide periodic drills; preparedness materials for renters, homeowners, buildings, businesses, and organizations; and free trainings, including on stocking basic supplies like water and food which is each person’s responsibility.
MIQA Hubs is operated solely by neighborhood volunteers who plan for risk reduction and resilience. Everyone’s welcome to join us to learn and practice together.
