As part of our Emergency Preparedness focus for September, we will be honoring the AVERT program in our Round Up!
September is Emergency Preparedness Month, and this year we’re teaming up with Grays Harbor AVERT — the volunteer emergency response team that helps our community get ready before disaster strikes.
When you Round Up at the register, your spare change supports AVERT’s hands‑on programs, including:
• Free in‑home disaster planning workshops
• Go‑bag education (for you and your pets!)
• Community CERT‑trained volunteers who partner with local fire & police departments
• Preparedness outreach across Ocean Shores and Grays Harbor County
These volunteers are the folks teaching our neighbors how to build emergency kits, plan ahead, and stay safe when the unexpected happens — exactly the kind of readiness we’re highlighting all month long.
🪣 Small change. Big preparedness.
Round Up in September and help strengthen the team that strengthens Ocean Shores!
