City of Sammamish 5 Step Neighborhood Action Kit

In major disasters, roughly 70% to 95% of victims are rescued by neighbors, not professional responders. Some of your neighbors will need assistance that can be easily provided by you and others that live in your community. The City of Sammamish 5-Step Neighborhood Action Kit is a free resource that can help you and your neighbors get organized and ready to act.
