Thank you for attending the 2025 Preparedness Day at Finnriver! Stay tuned for exciting updates about next years event.

We estimate that over 700 local residents attended throughout the day. We hosted 10 workshops, 30+ partners and served 600 Strawberry Shortcakes! 

What is Preparedness Day?

Produced in partnership by Jefferson County WA, The Production Alliance, Jefferson County Department of Emergency Management, East Jefferson Fire and Rescue, and Neighborhood Preparedness (NPREP) with support from Power Trip Energy, Jefferson Healthcare, the Food Coop and the Public Development Authority. 
 

Preparedness Day is not only an opportunity for you to learn more how to prepare yourself and your family, it is a wonderful opportunity to learn about how to connect with your community and increase our disaster resilience, together. Featuring opportunities to meet public safety officials, as well as trainings with vital emergency preparedness knowledge. Learn more about how you can tie into the whole community response, whether that’s through an organized neighborhood with the NPREP, one of our volunteer programs here at the Department of Emergency Management, or through one of the other partner organizations attending the event. Of course, Preparedness Day will also be a celebration, with ample opportunities for fun, socialization, and enjoy FREE Strawberry Shortcake!

Goals for Preparedness Day​

  • Raise awareness of the importance of Emergency Preparedness

  • Provide Access to EP resources and networks 

  • Build community / strengthen relationships

  • Strengthening the working relationships among EP partners 

  • Strengthen community resilience in general 

  • Skill building for community members

  • Reaching folks that have never been a part of the EP world is a priority

 

More broadly, we seek to inspire every Jefferson County resident to prepare to survive without access to food, water and medical attention outside of their neighborhood. 3 Days prepared = Good, Two Weeks prepared = Better, 30 Days prepared = Best!
