The Seattle Office of Emergency Management has teamed up with King and Snohomish Counties to help you and your neighbors prepare for disasters.  There is a fun preparedness campaign going on in April. Even if folks aren’t part of the first 200 people to sign up and get a free crank flashlight/radio or emergency kit, everyone will be entered for the Grand Prize!

Take the “3 to Get Ready” preparedness challenge (http://mynorthwest.com/getready/) – from April 4 through May 6, click into this fun, free, easy way to get ready and share it with others!

• April Tip of the Month:  It’s Disaster Preparedness Month in Washington. Don’t forget, at 9:45 a.m. on April 20 – it’s the state-wide “Drop, cover and hold” drill.
