Be Prepared!
A catastrophic emergency in our region coupled with Seattle’s unique geography may render transportation and communication infrastructure unusable, effectively isolating many neighborhoods within the city.
To prepare for such an event, the Seattle Emergency Communications Hubsand Seattle Auxiliary Communication Service will hold a full-city simulated power outage exercise on April 28, 2018 from 9am to 12pm, with three locations located within West Seattle. To volunteer or participate, find more information here.
