Jefferson County include earthquake,
tsunami,landslide, flood, windstorms, winter storms, power outages, pandemic illness or terrorist attack.

information to help
you, your family and your

►Links to local agency and
groups that support emergency preparedness and response:
Throughout the Olympic penninsula and across Washington
state there are Neighborhood Preparedness (NPREP)
volunteer groups that provide emergency communications and
response for friends and neighbors. These groups work with
the county and state EPREP agencies, law enforcement, fire
departments, and emergency medical responders. Consider the
case of extended power outages and communication outages
(when mobile/cell and land line phones are out). The NPREP
teams utilize hand-held FRS radios within a neighborhood
area to communicate among each other and with agencies
during an emergency.
