There are over 2000 amateur radio operators in Issaquah City Washington. About 100 belong to the local Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES/RACES) group. In a disaster, that would leave potentially 1900 radio operators available to provide visual (eyes on the ground) reporting in areas where damages or injuries have occurred, helping save lives and protect property.
EYEWARN is the registered trademark of the EYEWARN program and is sponsored in Issaquah City by the Issaquah Eastside Fire and Rescue, Issaquah, WA USA.

Trained radio operators observe conditions from their location during a disaster or emergency event.
