Emergency Services Information

Annual Drill:

• The City / School / Police / Fire Committee plans an evacuation drill each fall. It includes evacuation of all 3 schools in Sultan and the Alternative High School Program, utilizing our Public Works crews, police officers on duty, Fire District #5 available officers, and School District Support Staff. This functional exercise is a training opportunity for new residents and employees as well as a refresher course for those who have been around for awhile. Please use this event as a benchmark to update your personal files and restock your Disaster Preparedness kit with 3 days worth of supplies to sustain yourself and your family should you be relocated to another area without warning. Prepare Because You Care!
