Snohomish County Emergency Management has updated its public resources to help residents prepare for natural and human-caused hazards. The department encourages residents to use the Hazard Viewer, an interactive map tool that identifies risks like earthquakes, flooding, and landslides based on location.
The department also urges residents to sign up for SnoCoAlerts by creating a Smart911 profile. The Snohomish County Public Safety Hub is now the primary site for real-time emergency information. The department's mission statement emphasizes leadership in all five phases of emergency management: prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
Residents can contact the department at 425-388-5060 during business hours or 911 for emergencies. The office is located at 720 80th St. S. W. in Everett, open Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A duty officer is available 24/7 for emergencies.
