You will hear from me about disaster preparedness quite a lot this year. I think my new part time career is in disaster preparedness! I have attended a Greater Kirkland Citizen Corps meeting and the Zone1 Disaster Preparedness meeting held at Evergreen Hospital last week? Don't know what Zone 1 is? Neither did I until last week. I will fill you in on it in a later posting.

Also, as a member of the Kirkland Senior Council, I am in charge of "The Good Neighbor" project which we are working on to help identify and assist seniors who are isolated in their homes. Disaster preparedness is a big part of our concerns.
