Environmental disasters are inevitable, the question communities must ask themselves is not if it will happen, but when. Join seven local organizations at 5:30 p.m. on March 7, at the Sea View Theatre.

San Juan County Department of Emergency Management, Building Department, Orcas Fire and Rescue, Orcas Power and Light Cooperative, the Odd Fellows, Orcas Food Co-op and Nathan Donnelly of Reverence Permaculture and Preparedness will be presenting. This free event is composed of informative presentations by local experts covering what to expect in the event of a disaster on Orcas Island. Gather as a community and learn what steps to take to prepare for the worst.
