SNAP Emergency Preparedness Courses

RESERVE YOUR SNAP TIME NOW FOR A FREE PROGRAM IN MARCH, APRIL OR MAY!

The Seattle Office of Emergency Management is taking reservations to have the SNAP (Seattle Neighborhoods Actively Prepare) program presented right in your living room! Invite a dozen or more of your closest neighbors together and reserve your time for an evening or weekend class, beginning in March. We cover all the emergency essentials, from safe actions to coordinating with others. Classes last about an hour and are taught by trained volunteers.

To schedule a program, please email us at: SNAP@seattle.gov. Provide your name, contact info and preferred date and time in March, April or May. Please allow three weeks’ notice, and we’ll make sure you have everything you need to host a successful SNAP party! For more information, email us at SNAP@seattle.gov. 

OVERVIEW:

For 2014, the Seattle Office of Emergency Management will offer a series of short, skills-based workshops in partnership with Seattle Public Libraries. Each 30-minute workshop will focus on one aspect of preparedness. The same workshop will be offered geographically throughout the city four times each month – one North, one Central, one South, and one lunch program at the Central Library.
