Welcome to the City of Kirkland’s Emergency Preparedness website! Here you will find valuable information designed to help citizens, businesses and organizations prepare for the next disaster that impacts Kirkland. Why?
The City of Kirkland serves approximately 40,000 citizens. The Kirkland Fire Department serves approximately 80,000 (including unincorporated King County Fire District 41.)
