Emergency Preparedness
The MIssion of Mercer Island Emergency Preparedness is to have Mercer Island be self sufficient for 7 days.
Our Mission includes city government, city staff, citizens, businesses, schools and the faith community. We should all be prepared to be self-sufficient for 7 days following a major disaster where public safety and emergency medical services are overwhelmed and may not be available to respond to most calls.
