Safely Helping Neighbors When Emergencies Happen

Seattle is also prone to many hazards that can impact people at home, like extreme heat or cold. Many people living near you could use a helping hand! Offer to go grocery shopping or run other errands for those remaining at home, or simply offer to check-in with a regular phone call. Get to know your neighbors and how you can help them before an emergency strikes Seattle! Use our Hello Neighbor cards to offer help to vulnerable neighbors. A little bit goes a long way! Available in multiple languages!
