Mostly a video blog here, but a fun morning in Auburn today with students from Auburn High School, Auburn Riverside High School and Auburn Mountainview High School to help dramatize the need for flooding preparedness.
The whole contest was designed to help spread the word about Take Winter By Storm, the joint emergency preparedness campaign sponsored by Puget Sound Energy, the City of Seattle and King County -- along with State Farm Insurance, who also had a team of sandbaggers today.
The event, which featured judges from the Army Corps of Engineers, showed how team effort is what it takes to be ready for winter weather -- and in this case a particular emphasis was paid to the preparations being made in Auburn and other areas near the Green River.
This morning, the students competed to see which school could fill and stack the most sandbags (properly, that is) in a ten minute period.
Auburn Mountainview (in orange) was the winner. But, as they say, the real winners are everyone who gets ready for storm season.
