Neighbors helping neighbors.
Mercer Island Prepares is a proposed community-led resource that helps residents find practical information, training and ways to support one another.
What we don’t do
We do not run emergency response, send emergency alerts, activate volunteers or replace public safety agencies.
Working alongside our community
We intend to support established preparedness programs and seek appropriate collaboration with the City of Mercer Island, Mercer Island Police Department, Eastside Fire & Rescue, schools, neighborhood groups and community organizations. These are proposed relationships, not announced partnerships or endorsements.
