How can the behavioral health system better serve communities?
King County recently released a new online survey to learn how the behavioral health system can better serve communities. The survey is open until October 31. It takes about 10 minutes to complete and is available in 21 languages. Learn more and take the survey
Septic Rebate
The septic system rebate program is available throughout all of King County (not just unincorporated areas), however there is an income eligibility requirement for properties outside of Vashon-Maury Island and the Poverty Bay Shellfish Protection District. Businesses are eligible if they are a small business (the simple definition is in the application).
The rebate program website has an eligibility map you can add an address to and find out what rebates are available for that property.
Emergency Preparedness
Take a short survey to help King County plan for sudden emergencies
There are 14 potential hazards identified in King County: avalanches, civil disturbances, cyber incidents, dam failures, earthquakes, floods, hazardous materials, health incidents, landslides, severe weather, terrorism, tsunamis, volcanoes, and wildfires.
The King County Office of Emergency Management is updating its Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. To make sure the hazards most concerning to you are properly addressed, please take a five-question survey.
The five-year regional plan is designed to identify potential hazards, assess their impacts, and develop strategies to reduce their effects on our communities. The county needs a plan like this in order to receive grants for addressing emergencies.
Your input will help Emergency Management understand community concerns and create more effective plans. By sharing your insights, you play a crucial role in helping prioritize resources and manage the risks that matter most to our community.
