City of Shoreline to participate in Evergreen Earthquake Exercise Tuesday

On Tuesday, June 5, 2012, the City of Shoreline will participate in a multi-county earthquake exercise that will involve city, county, state, tribal and federal agencies. 

The exercise is designed to examine mid-phase response plans and Emergency Operation Center (EOC) operations following multiple catastrophic earthquakes. 

Six counties, over 20 cities, several tribes, numerous private sector partners, as well as state and federal agencies will participate. The exercise will not affect normal City operations.

Shoreline is committed to being prepared in the event of an emergency. Participating in regional exercises like the Evergreen Earthquake Exercise are essential for staff training and preparedness. Learn more about how you can prepare for an emergency.

Lake Forest Park and Kenmore are not part of this exercise.

    It's disappointing that Lake Forest Park won't participate as they are seismically more vulnerable to disaster than Shoreline thanks in part to the lowlands, two state highways and potential failure of the Horizon View resevoir.
