Welcome to Skagit County
May 26, 2021 Join the Skagit Department of Emergency Management for free tsunami education webinarSkagit County Department of Emergency Management is hosting a free webinar on tsunami warnings and safety on June 3, 2021 at 6 p.m. No registration is required. Participants can join at this link or using Zoom meeting ID 940-4409-1276 and passcode 856721. “As Skagitonians, we think about floods and earthquakes, but not so much about tsunamis,” said Hans Kahl, Emergency Management Specialist for Skagit County Department of Emergency Management. “This webinar will cover all the basics of tsunami preparedness, including how folks can expect to be alerted that a tsunami is coming.” Over the past two years, Skagit County has worked to install 13 tsunami sirens in the regions of the County most likely to be impacted by a tsunami. These sirens also function to provide other alerts, such as for severe weather or flooding.
