When Disaster Strikes, Our Neighborhood Becomes the First Response Team
In a major emergency, professional response teams will quickly become overwhelmed. We'll need to rely on each other. It's not just helpful, it's essential after a major disaster.
That's where the Seattle Emergency Hubs come in. These community gathering places help us share information, coordinate resources, solve problems, and support one another when traditional services are unavailable.
If you do want to get involved with you can attend the "Introduction to How a Hub Works" training on May 18th at the Greenwood Senior Center.
