We received the following announcement from the Seattle Office of Emergency Management:

Special workshop

Get the word out: Emergency messaging to vulnerable populations. Getting timely and accurate information to all citizens during a disaster is a life-safety priority. These messages must reach all facets of the community regardless of where people live, what languages they speak, and what abilities or disabilities they may have. Join us to learn more about emergency notification and warning to vulnerable populations, including the development and dissemination of key messages and the use of diverse networks to deliver time-sensitive, life-safety information.
