SUMMARY:Preparedness Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Preparedness Workshop\nOur Workshop is currently full now. Due to the overwhelming response\, we will be offering another workshop in the future.  \nIf you are still interested\, please get on our waiting list by emailing: KHale@pierce.ctc.edu \nIn January\, we marked the 321st anniversary of the last full-rip 9.0 Cascadia earthquake. In March\, we note the 20th anniversary of the Nisqually earthquake. \nIs getting people to prepare an impossible pipe dream or a worthy goal? Why is it so difficult? Are Emergency Managers the right people to carry the preparedness message? If not\, why not? If not\, who is? \nThis class will use research from applied behavioral science\, the principles of adult education\, and findings from marketing efforts to shed light on how emergency managers can better target the time they spend on preparedness\, leading to better results. We’ll explore ways emergency managers can evaluate their particular situation to determine where/how they can increase the effectiveness of their preparedness programs. \nThe class examines the key errors in thinking that prevent people from getting prepared\, as well as the one element that can be most effectively leveraged to get people to take action. Using brief content delivery modules\, followed by interactive small group exercises\, the class provides a platform for continuing conversations among class participants on what is working and not working in their preparedness efforts. If desired\, students may schedule a one-hour consultation after the class on a preparedness topic chosen by the student. \nParticipants will need to provide an accurate address in order to receive a copy of “Get Ready! How to Prepare for and Stay Safe after a Pacific Northwest Earthquake.” \nTo complete registration\, please make a contribution to the Jamye Wisecup Scholarship Fund.

SUMMARY:Great Washington ShakeOut
DESCRIPTION:Tsunami Sirens Will Sound Warning Tone for Great Washington ShakeOut\nAt 10:15 am on October 15\, 2020\, millions of people in Washington State will participate in the largest earthquake drill ever: ShakeOut! Why? Earthquakes can happen anywhere\, so everyone should know how to protect themselves when an earthquake occurs. Coastal earthquakes can be followed by tsunamis – which is why the Great Washington ShakeOut includes a tsunami drill. \nWashington’s network of coastal tsunami sirens will be tested around 10:15 am on October 15 using the wailing sound of a tsunami warning\, not the Westminster Chimes that are used during the monthly tests. PLEASE DO NOT CALL 911. \nThe wailing sound will be followed by this message in English and Spanish: “This is a test of the siren alert system. If you are in a low coastal area\, test your evacuation route. If this had been a real emergency\, you should follow evacuation routes\, move to higher ground inland\, now. Do not delay. Do not return until directed to do so. Tune into your local media sources for further instructions. This was only a test.” \nKnow Your Tsunami Warning Signs \nIf you hear the siren wailing sound outside of the Great Washington ShakeOut\, immediately follow the closest tsunami evacuation route inland or to high ground. This is your warning that a tsunami is approaching\, and you need to evacuate the inundation zone as soon as possible. \nIf you are on the coast and you feel ground shaking\, drop\, cover\, and hold on to protect yourself. When the shaking stops\, immediately follow the closest tsunami evacuation route inland or to high ground. Do not wait to hear a tsunami siren or to receive an official tsunami alert – the shaking is your warning that a tsunami may be on its way. \nMore Sirens To Be Installed \nThanks to funding allocated by the Washington State Legislature for 2020 and 2021\, over the next year the Washington Military Department will be installing approximately 50 tsunami sirens across the state’s inner and outer coasts. These sirens will fill critical gaps in the current tsunami warning infrastructure to complete the siren network. This life-saving project brings together state agencies\, tribal\, county\, and city emergency management\, and other important stakeholders to ensure Washington’s coastal communities can be alerted in the event of a tsunami warning. \nBe a Part of ShakeOut! \nRegister at www.ShakeOut.org/Washington to practice and improve your level of earthquake and tsunami safety. Everyone everywhere can participate! Individuals\, families\, businesses\, schools\, government agencies\, and organizations are all invited to join in at 10:15 am on 10/15. Learn more about Washington’s tsunami hazard at www.mil.wa.gov/tsunamis.

SUMMARY:Partners in Emergency Preparedness August Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Misinformation During Crisis Events and in the Context of COVID-19This short webinar will explore how misinformation and disinformation spread during crisis events (generally) and in the context of COVID-19 (specifically). \nWe are particularly vulnerable to the spread of misinformation during times of crisis – due to uncertainty in the information environment and anxiety about what the impacts will be and how we should respond. \nCOVID-19 represents a perfect storm for misinformation – due to persistent uncertainty surrounding the disease and the public increasingly relying on online information systems where mis- and disinformation are already pervasive. \nKate Starbird is an Associate Professor at the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering (HCDE) at the University of Washington (UQ). Kate’s research is situated within human-computer interaction and the emerging field of crisis informatics – the study of how social media and other information-communication technologies are used during crisis events. \nCurrently\, her work focuses on the production and spread of online rumors\, misinformation\, and disinformation in the context of crisis events. Starbird is a co-founder of the UW Center for an Informed Public. \nTo Register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwod-qrqDgvH9PshoEg2rutgP7JzHalrOdW \nRegistration is required by Aug. 20\, 2020 in order to receive meeting details and webinar link.
