Just two hours before we started writing this, local seismographs recorded a microquake near Mount Rainier (see the info here). During this Disaster Preparedness Month 2011, we’re focusing on quakes – and this time around, we have a simple one-minute video courtesy of 3 Days 3 Ways (which is sponsoring WSB this month). Their “preparedness challenge” (which starts here) includes 3 short videos, each demonstrating one of the “three ways” you can start getting prepared. The most important, in terms of survivability, is the one in this video clip: Store enough water for yourself and your family/household to get through three days – the minimum amount of time you can expect to fend for yourself. Radio host Dave Ross and city preparedness guru Debbie Goetz break it down fairly simply. So stock up on water ASAP. Here’s the accompanying flyer (including a reminder to rotate it every six months). Then go take the rest of the challenge! … REGULAR REMINDERS: Know your Emergency Communications Hub … and if you don’t have one nearby, volunteer to help create one! … Plus, browse around the rest of the West Seattle Be Prepared website.
