“Hub in Box” Funding Process Released

Thanks to the Seattle City Council and with the advocacy of the Seattle Office of Emergency Management and the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods,  The Hub in a Box application has been finalized and the application period is open now until Oct 28. It is now posted on the OEM website:  http://www.seattle.gov/emergency-management/working-together/community-emergency-hubs

This is a new program that will allow hubs that are just starting out, a simplified way to apply for funds to get their communications supplies and a box to put them in.  As information is our commodity, most of the supplies are for writing and information transfer (white boards, pens, paper/forms, and a shelter tent or two).  Details about qualifying criteria and considerations are all at the link above.   There is enough funding to provide 12 hub groups with up to $1500, so this is a great opportunity.
