Mark your calendars! On October 19, 2023, at 10:19 AM Washington State
businesses, schools, and individuals will be participating in the world's largest
earthquake drill. Our Emergency Management Team is encouraging everyone in
our community to register and participate in this event.
What is ShakeOut?
ShakeOut is a one -minute earthquake drill. During that minute, you practice
dropping to the ground and moving under something sturdy, covering your head
and neck, and holding on to the sturdy object. The main goal of ShakeOut is to
practice what to do during an earthquake.
How do I Participate?
Participation is fun at easy! Go to ShakeOut.org and register ahead of time to
participate so that you can be counted in the largest -ever earthquake drill.
Then, on October 19 at 10:19 AM, practice your skills wherever you're at!

Which stormwater projects and studies are
important to you in Tukwila?
Rain is inevitable. Stormwater pollution is not. What is your priority for
managing stormwater runoff?
The City of Tukwila is updating its Surface Water Comprehensive Plan for the
next 10 years. We are working on fixing stormwater drainage issues and
improving stormwater quality and fish habitat. Projects are funded by the
Surface Water Utility Fees paid by property owners in Tukwila along with grants
or partnerships.
We need your help to identify which projects and studies are the most important
to you! We will use feedback from the community to help select which projects
and studies to implement first. Use our online survey to submit your priority
projects by October 11, 2023!
