Snoqualmie Community Encouraged to Be Ready for Emergencies During National Preparedness Month

The City of Snoqualmie is promoting emergency preparedness among residents and businesses during National Preparedness Month. Officials emphasize three essential areas: staying informed about local risks, creating a household emergency plan, and assembling an emergency kit with supplies for at least three days. Fire Chief Mike Bailey remarked that taking small steps can lead to significant improvements in community readiness for emergencies. Residents are encouraged to sign up for local emergency alerts and follow reliable sources for updates. The emergency plan should address the needs of all household members, including children and pets.

The initiative aims to prepare the community for various emergencies, including home fires and local floods. Preparedness not only enhances individual safety but strengthens overall community resilience. For more information on disaster readiness, residents can visit www. ready. gov/september.
