We were honored to be part of the Nick of Time youth heart screening at Vashon Island High School yesterday.
More than 350 students aged 12-24 received vital screenings to detect hidden heart conditions and reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death. Additionally, students had the chance to acquire skills in hands-only CPR and AED usage. #community #weprotectvashon Nick of Time Foundation … See MoreSee Less

This was such an incredible event! What a gift to our community to have had so many of our young people get their hearts checked. Thank you everyone who volunteered! <3
After yesterday’s heavy rain, a mudslide occurred on Biloxi Road, reminding us of the unpredictable forces of nature. Thankfully, the homeowners were away. Unfortunately the house experienced damage.
Since more rain is on the way, here are some tips to stay safe during heavy rains:
1. Stay informed about weather conditions.
2. Be ready to evacuate quickly.
3. Reinforce slopes and drainage.
4. Prepare a kit with essential supplies, including water, food, and important documents, in case of evacuation.
Stay safe and prepared! #weprotectvashon … See MoreSee Less

Vashon Island is anticipated to experience rainfall ranging from 2 to 3 inches within the next 24 hours as an atmospheric river system goes through the area. A flood watch continues to be in effect for a significant portion of Northwest Washington, extending through late Wednesday. 🌧️☔️
In preparation for potential flooding, self serve sandbags are conveniently provided at the VIFR Training Center on Bank Road. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis.
