LWPTSA Council’s E-Prep Committee meetings for 2025-2026 will be held online via Zoom, except for the October and February meetings, which will be held in person at the LWSD Resource Center (16250 NE 74th St., Redmond WA 98052).

Our Vision: Achieve a whole-community approach of emergency management, set forth by the Federal Emergency Management Association, as it relates to our school communities throughout the Lake Washington School District. The whole-community approach is a concept that emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility, and calls for the involvement of everyone in order to attain a secure, resilient community.
Our Mission: To provide training, networking and support to emergency preparedness chairs from each school in order to encourage the PTA management of supplies, preparedness education, community engagement and facilitation of drills through building a relationship with the school principal.
Please join us for the first SEG meeting of the year!
