November 18, 2024. Following a major disaster, city services in Seattle will be overwhelmed. A network of about 60 organized Hubs, including the Magnolia, Queen Anne, and Interbay or MIQA Hubs, will activate in predetermined locations.
The MIQA Hubs are activated near community centers, including the Magnolia Community Center, to exchange information and provide neighbors with a place and process for matching their skills and resources with other neighbors’ needs.
Our neighborhood Hubs use two-way radios to get news from adjacent hubs and to support mutual aid around the neighborhoods and from adjacent hubs. Seattle Emergency Hubs network is independent of the city of Seattle, but coordinates with local and regional emergency services where possible.
To help our neighborhood BEFORE a crisis, MIQA Hubs provide periodic drills, preparedness materials for renters, homeowners, buildings, businesses, and organizations, and free training. This includes stocking basic supplies like water and food, each person’s responsibility. We are linking a PowerPoint with information, volunteer requests, and other details we should all know about and engage in as a community: MIQA Hubs
MIQA Hubs is operated solely by neighborhood volunteers who plan for risk reduction and resilience. Everyone’s welcome to join us to learn and practice together. Click here to learn more.
