Public Health – Seattle & King County (PHSKC), like many local health jurisdictions, has been working for years to build community resilience in order to withstand the impacts of emergencies.

As a county covering over 2,000 square miles, with a population of over 2 million people and over 170 spoken languages, we experience an added level of complexity to building resilience.
