Minor Earthquake near Stanwood this afternoon

Thursday, Nov. 16, 2023

A minor earthquake (magnitude 3.1) occurred near Stanwood WA this afternoon. No damage or injuries have been reported, but it is a great reminder to always be prepared for disaster in the Pacific Northwest. Make sure each member of your family has a Go Kit and knows how to communicate with you in the event you are separated during a large no notice disaster event.

Preparing now will help reduce the impact any disaster event will have upon you, your family and community.
