Seattle Disaster Readiness and Response Plan

Seattle is a beautiful and vibrant city with people from all over the world calling it home. This rich mix of cultures, languages and perspectives is part of what makes our city great. Seattle is also one of the most hazard prone areas in the country, from annual severe storms to major earthquakes. Our biggest disasters will happen without warning and we will have to rely on individuals to take care of one another until emergency services can be restored. The Seattle Office of Emergency Management encourages the people who live, work and play in Seattle to be prepared. This document is Seattle's Disaster Readiness and Response Plan. We all have a stake in this plan so we need input from everyone. If you have comments, concerns, or would like to work with us to strengthen our overall ability to prepare for, respond to, or recover from a major disaster, please contact: OEM Planning and Operations Coordinator at: 206-233-5076 or oem.plans@
