2. Seattle Emergency Communications Hubs
http://seattleemergencyhubs.org/seattle-emergency-neighborlink-map/
The Hub Network is an ALL-VOLUNTEER force dedicated to helping Seattle communities prepare for a disaster. We work closely with City of Seattle officials, are incorporated into the response plan, but choose to remain independent of formal city control. This allows us to remain nimble and respond to our communities as the unique entities that they are. Currently, we have nearly 60 Emergency Communication Hubs throughout Seattle where trained neighbors will gather to help organize and support their communities after a large disaster. Thank you for considering a donation!

Self Help Posters were created by Hub volunteers to be used at the Hubs as a tool to help people immediately after a major disaster. In those first few days when information will be hard to get, these posters remind people of basic information so they can stay safe. There are 5 posters for the following topics: Food Safety, Sanitation, Water Safety, Hazards, Communication.

3. Washington Listens helps provide support during COVID-19
“Calling and reaching out for help doesn’t mean you’re broken… All of us need support.” Many people are dealing with severe stress, anxiety, and hopelessness as the pandemic rages on. Counselors fear mental health crises will rise as an expected second wave of the coronavirus hits in the fall. In response, the state has launched Washington Listens, a new service open to anyone seeking support and connections to community services.
