August: Meeting Places
Meeting places are where we gather to exchange information, gather resources, and make a plan. They include your neighborhood gathering place and Disaster Hubs.
BASIC
Select an outside meeting place for all members of the household.
Make sure everyone understands that in an emergency, if you need to evacuate outside, everyone should immediately go to the meeting place.
Practice evacuation. Ideally, practice when it is dark outside.
Know where the nearest two Disaster Hubs are located.
ADVANCED
Know the location of your neighborhood meeting place.
Select household meeting places on the other side of the bridge and in Seattle (in case you aren’t home when disaster strikes).
PRO
Keep extra cash on hand so you can afford a hotel if you need to evacuate suddenly from your home.
Know where you can evacuate with your pets and livestock if you need to.
Documentation
Submit the required documentation.
Prize
Your submission will be entered in a drawing to win the February prize: A small fire extinguisher.
You may submit your documentation at any time up until the end of the first Friday of the following month. You may submit early for ensuing months. Remember to stamp your passport for each completed month.
