Safe At Home

Logo: Safe At Home

Safe At Home is a special promotion by your local Offices of Emergency Management, the State of Washington, and KOMO 1000 News in partnership with the Seattle Mariners. Safe At Home urges individuals, families and communities to begin preparedness at home and within their neighborhood. The goal is to increase awareness and motivation for the need to prepare each and every household in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties and in the Cities of Seattle and Bellevue for emergencies and disasters, both natural and man-made.

As a courtesy of the American Red Cross and Philips Corporation, an exclusive Safe At Home disaster kit backpack will be awarded to two lucky fans at each home game with the first two runs made by the Mariners.
