hex#Seattle folks who are interested in #DisasterPrep organizing might also be interested in the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods matching funds (closed for 2026, but thinking forward to 2027). We talked about getting grants, but I don't think we ever applied.

Grants like this are available all over. #Amsterdam has one too. We don't have to do everything ourselves. It's OK to use money like this to build capacity if we can find good targets. At least, that's my take.

HeatherInspired by this weather to make some progress on our go-bags, documenting here in case it helps anyone.
I've separated the contents into some plastic freezer bags to help keep fresh & dry in case of a flood/storm.
So far each bag contains:
Food in plastic bag:
nature valley granola bars, mixed x6
fruit in jelly cups x3
flavoured tuna tins x3 (pull tab tops)
Whittaker's peanut/almond slabs x2
cheap metal spoons x2
(what food to pack is highly subjective, as long as it keeps well)
Hygene kit in plastic bag:
Colgate travel dental kit (brush, paste, floss, mouth wash)
hand sanitiser
aquatabs (water sterlising tabs)
face masks
set of disposable silverwear
First Aid Kit:
a small pre-made personal first aid kit to which I've added some panadol and savlon
Still heaps to add to these, but it's a good start. Next up: water bottles, rain ponchos, flashlights, jumpers, phone chargers, important documents (or copies of)
