About

West Seattle Be Prepared is an 18+ year old organization of volunteers who focus on preparing for disasters (especially earthquakes or severe storms) which would impact regular means of communication.

As of early 2026, we’ve taken most of our content from this website offline.

We launched our first version of this site in 2009, and our emergency preparedness activities in West Seattle predate that! Past coverage of our activities in West Seattle, can be found at this search on the West Seattle Blog. For historic purposes, we’ve also kept our West Seattle Be Prepared blog online, which spans 3/17/11 through 4/11/21.

We hope you’ll visit us on our new platform on the Seattle Emergency Hubs website! The benefits of moving to this new platform include a shared event calendar, shared maps, a larger pool of volunteers, as well as other resources. Want to get involved? You can find contact information for each individual West Seattle hub.

Questions? You can still reach us at westseattlebeprepared@gmail.com, as well as via the new webpage on Seattle Emergency Hubs.

Connect on Facebook! The West Seattle Be Prepared group is also still active and has nearly 1800 members!
