The SNAP Program: Get Together

The first part of the SNAP process is to invite your neighbors, family and friends to prepare with you. This is like creating a "disaster team." If you have a neighborhood association or block watch, then you already have a good start on this part. Remember, the SNAP program is flexible in the number of people or households on your team. It's a little easier if you live within a few blocks of each other, but that's not a requirement. Ideally, 10 to 20 homes make a very manageable and efficient group.

Once you have identified your team, set a meeting date to talk about preparing together. To help you with this part, we've created SNAP Host Kit with a checklist sample agenda for your first meeting, a flyer you can fill-in and copy for your neighbors, a sign-in sheet for your meeting and preparedness materials for you and your neighbors. You can call or e-mail the Office of Emergency Management for your host kit at 206-233-7123 or snap@ seattle.gov. Please allow two weeks for processing and mailing requests or call to arrange to pick up the materials.
