Vashon Be Prepared
About
VashonBePrepared is a federally recognized, educational 501(c)(3) non-profit coalition of disaster preparedness organizations on Vashon -Maury Islands in Washington's Puget Sound region. Incorporated on April 12, 2007, we had already existed informally for several years as the Vashon Disaster Preparedness Coalition. As a coalition of groups with many individual volunteers we have a real presence in many people’s lives now and considerable potential to do even more in the future. VashonBePrepared has no operational role during disasters, instead see Vashon Island Fire & Rescue, for how that is handled. VashonBePrepared is a 501(c)(3) coalition of other organizations – though we do house some of the teams that otherwise have no organizational structure. We are a Coalition of Organizations Active in Disaster, a COAD, and are registered with WAVOAD. We were recently recognized by the state of Washington as the Vashon Island Citizen Corps Council, the local representative for the national Citizens Corp program.
