5 Basic Readiness Tasks to Do Today

Here are the five best things you can do today to protect your family.

1. Subscribe to emergency alerts with the City of Bainbridge Island.

Text 98110 to 888777.

2. Know two ways off the island (one nonmotorized).

3. Store at least 30 days of food and water.

Don’t forget water and food for your pets.

4. Make sure your street is part of Map Your Neighborhood.

The MYN program is the basic building block of preparedness BI. If you and your neighbors aren’t doing it, you’re lacking a solid foundation.

5. Know your fire zone.

Currently there are 12 zones on the island. These are being subdivided as we speak. So what you learn today, you will have to learn different in a few weeks. But you should still know your zone. That way when the city says to prepare to evacuate or to evacuate asap, you’ll know whether they’re talking to you.
