Our Vision: Achieve a Whole Community approach of emergency management, set forth by the Federal Emergency Management Association, as it relates to our school communities throughout the Lake Washington School District. The Whole Community approach is a concept that emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility, and calls for the involvement of everyone in order to attain a secure, resilient community.
Our Mission: To provide training, networking and support to emergency preparedness chairs from each school in order to encourage the PTSA management of supplies, preparedness education, community engagement, and facilitation of drills through building a relationship with the school principal.
