Sunday, May 18th is the 45th anniversary of the Mount St. Helens eruption. This is and opportunity to remind ourselves to be prepared. With West Seattle Bike Connections and Seattle Emergency Hubs, we are demonstrating that day the connection between emergency hubs and the use of bicycles for navigating broken streets.

What: Disaster Resilience Ride
Where: White Center Salvation Army, 9050 16th Ave SW
When: May 18th starting at 1 pm
Why: To show the need for bicycle response in the case of disaster that can leave roads impassable and automobiles restricted in movement as well as fuel sources.

Using a network of Seattle Neighborhood Greenway bike routes, the 8-mile round trip ride will visit several West Seattle emergency hubs and learn what their function is in case of a disaster.

This is a family-friendly ride. Bring water and snacks for you and your family.
