March 31 - Free Seminar

imageSevere weather or an earthquake WILL create these Vashon conditions:

  • The power out for days or longer
  • Homes damaged, roads closed
  • Phones not working well or at all
  • Our Fire Department overloaded with emergency responses
  • Ferries stop serving Vashon – docks may be damaged or boats needed elsewhere
  • Gas, supplies and groceries not arriving from the mainland
  • Families separated – some folks stranded off-island; many can’t get to work

 

Learn the ropes to be resilient – not to mention well-fed!
