Snohomish County Offers Online Hazard Mapping Tool

Snohomish County Emergency Management offers residents a free online tool called the Hazard Viewer, which provides interactive maps of local risks including earthquake faults, flood-prone areas, landslide zones, and potential impacts from a Glacier Peak volcanic eruption.

The Hazard Viewer allows users to search by location to understand what hazards exist where they live, work, and travel. The tool also includes preparedness tips and links to additional resources.

Residents can also sign up for SnoCoAlerts by creating a Smart911 profile, which connects them to emergency notifications. During active emergencies, the county shares real-time updates through the Snohomish County Public Safety Hub.

The Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management is located at 720 80th St. S. W., Building A, in Everett. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays, and can be reached by phone at 425-388-5060. A duty officer is available around the clock for emergencies and can be contacted by calling 911.
