Come to the Highland Terrace Neighborhood meeting May 17, and find out about the "Map Your Neighborhood" program so you can be prepared in case of an emergency.
The meeting will be in the Highland Terrace Elementary library, 100 N 160th, Shoreline WA 98133, and will begin at 7pm.
Speaker Jill Rucker, AmeriCorps VISTA - Emergency Management Program Assistant for the City of Shoreline Community Services Division, will talk about how to Plan for Emergencies.
You can begin this process by gathering family members and making sure each person is well-informed on potential hazards and community plans (Getting Informed ). Discuss with them what you would do if family members are not home when a warning is issued. Additionally, your family plan should address the following:
- Escape routes
- Evacuation plans
- Family communications
- Utility shut-off and safety
- Insurance and vital records
- Special needs
- Care for pets: Information for pet owners
- Care for livestock: Information for livestock owners
