A community group dedicated to helping Capitol Hill neighbors organize in the event of a major catastrophe will hold an emergency drill Sunday afternoon and is looking for volunteers.
The North Capitol Hill Emergency Communication Hub is part of a network of volunteer-run efforts around Seattle dedicated to emergency preparedness.
Sunday, the group will gather in the parking lot of the Seventh Day Adventist Church at 13th and Aloha to practice and spread the word about being ready for emergencies.
The hub needs volunteers “to play the role of neighbors affected by an emergency” and, for some, to join up as “Hubsters” to help organize and be ready for emergency situations on the Hill.
The group says hubs are organized and run entirely by volunteers and depend on “interconnection between households, our neighborhood, our Hub, and city efforts to meet our needs in a city-wide emergency.”
Sunday’s event runs from 3 to 5 PM Sunday, August 27th at 13th and Aloha. You can learn more at seattleemergencyhubs.org.

Circling their Lexus’ to defend against the Pike/Pine dystopia.
As a member of this group I can’t help but disagree. This is a group focused on what community will actually mean when shit hits the fan, I encourage you to come check it out!
Wait, wha-wha-what century are you from?! Gotta work on your slams! Citing currently applicable makes of cars to be snarky about would help.
Umm, Lexus seems a perfectly normal reference here, not sure what point you’re really trying to add here?
