Welcome
Do you know where to go for information in case of disaster, if all regular means of communication are unavailable?
If you happen to be in West Seattle, the place to go is to the nearest Emergency Communication Hub!
Do you know about the West Seattle Emergency Communication Hubs?
If not, you’ve come to the right place! The hubs are our designated emergency community gathering sites. Learn more about them in the About the Hubs section. We’ve created an interactive online Google map as well as a printable map showing their locations.
Looking for other emergency planning resources?
You’ll find interactive Google maps showing hospitals and veterinary facilities in the Medical & First Aid section. Check out the huge Resources section which should help you, your household, and your neighborhood get prepared. We’ve included links to excellent materials for children; to a wide variety of classes; to timely information from Official Information Sources about flu and weather-related emergency resources; and much more!
Find out more about West Seattle efforts!
Don’t miss the Learn More section; you’ll find information about ongoing emergency preparedness efforts throughout West Seattle, including updates and photos from our group’s activities. Learn how you can get involved! If this is your first visit to our site, you may also find this Overview helpful.
