- Help Us Plan for Disaster
Seattle Office of Emergency Management hosted two community meetings to discuss the Seattle Disaster Readiness and Response Plan. In our ongoing commitment to planning with the community rather than for the community, we invite you to weigh in on the plan by emailing us at: Seattle-DisasterPlan@seattle.gov. If you are interested in hosting a meeting for friends or a pre-existing group you belong to, please let us know and we'd be happy to schedule a time to do that.
- Disaster Survivors: Tell Us Your Story, Teach Others
Remember living through the power outages, winter storms, excessive heat and flooding events in our area over the past few years? Perhaps you or a family member survived Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami in Japan, or catastrophe in another part of the world. If so, the lessons you learned may help teach and inspire others.
