Covington Chamber Membership Roster



The City of Covington enjoys a vibrant sense of community. It is a place where local government, private citizens and busi-nesses are partners, working together to provide innovative solutions for the challenges facing the city as it grows. The city council believes that you can live and work in the same community, while keeping a rural feel with economic vitality. Since Covington’s incorporation on August 31, 1997, the city has grown so rapidly from 12,500 to 17,575 today. Covington is developing as a new center for commerce. It is a great place for jobs and businesses along with residential property opportunities including a wide range of single fam-ily housing from aff ordable to luxury. While the council encourages economic development, it also believes that the participation of social service programs at a local level are the true soul of the city, recognizing that quality of life is a necessity rather than an unattainable goal. They place a high signifi cance on developing strong part-nerships with the Covington Chamber of Commerce, Kent School District and local service clubs such as Kiwanis, Lions and Rotary, as well as individual community volunteers. Mayor Margaret Harto says, “Lots of things are going right in Covington. We’ve been very busy planning a downtown that will give families a place to live, work, plan and shop. We’ve been busy developing our neighborhoods so that our young people will be safe. Our goal is to have something for everyone right here in Covington.”

Covington Parks & Recreation The Covington Parks and Recreation Department is proud to serve the residents of Covington by off ering a wide range of quality activities and events for the entire family and well-maintained parks and trails. We understand that quality of life is vital to the residents of Covington.

Where will you be when disaster strikes?In the Car • At School • At Home • At workHow will you fi nd each other? Will you know if your children are safe?

Your Family Disaster Plan Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confi ne you to your home. What would you do if basic services (water, gas, electricity or telephones) were cut off ? Local offi cials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster but they cannot reach everyone right away. Families can, and do, cope with disaster by preparing in advance and working together as a team. Follow the steps listed here to create your family’s disaster plan. Knowing what to do is your best protection and your responsibility.

4 Steps to Safety1. Find out what could happen to you. Contact your local emergency management or civil

defense offi ce and American Red Cross chapter and be prepared to take notes:

Ask what types of disasters are most likely to happen. Request information on how to prepare for each.

Learn about your community’s warning signals: what they sound like and what you should do when you hear them.

Ask about animal care after a disaster. Animals may not be allowed inside emergency shelters due to health regulations.

Find out how to help elderly or disabled persons, if needed. Next, fi nd out about the disaster plans at your workplace, your children’s school or day care center and other places where your family spends time.

2. Create a Disaster Plan Meet with your family and discuss

why you need to prepare for a disaster. Explain the dangers of fi re, severe weather and earthquakes to children. Plan to share responsibilities and work together as a team.

Discuss the types of disasters that are most likely to happen. Explain what to do in each case.

Pick two places to meet: • Right outside your home in case of a sudden

emergency • Outside your neighborhood in case you can’t return

home. Everyone must know the address and phone number.

Ask an out-of-state friend to be your “family contact.” After a disaster, it’s often easier to call long distance. Other

family members should call this person and tell them where they are. Everyone must know your contact’s phone number.

Discuss what to do in a evacuation. Plan how to take care of your pets.

3. Complete this checklist. Post emergency telephone numbers by the phones (fi re,

police, ambulance, etc.) Teach children how and when to call 911 or your local

Emergency Medical Services number for emergency help. Show each family member how and when to turn off the

water, gas, and electricity at the main switches. Check to determine if you have adequate insurance

coverage. Teach each family member how to use the fi re

extinguisher (ABC type), and show them where it’s kept. Install smoke detectors on each level of your home,

especially near bedrooms. Conduct a home hazard hunt. Stock emergency supplies and assemble a Disaster

Supplies Kit. Take a Red Cross fi rst aid and CPR class. Determine the best escape routes from your home. Find

two ways out of each room. Find the safe spots in your home for each type of disaster.

4. Practice and maintain your plan. Quiz your kids every six months so they remember what

to do. Conduct fi re and emergency evacuation drills. Replace stored water every three months and stored food every six months. Test and recharge your fi re extinguisher(s) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Test your smoke detectors monthly and change the batteries at least once a year.

EARTHQUAKE: DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON! Learn what to do during an earthquake, whether you’re at home, at work, at school or just out and about. Taking the proper actions, such as “Drop, Cover, and Hold On”, can save lives and reduce your risk of death or injury. During earthquakes, drop to the fl oor, take cover under a sturdy desk or table, and hold on to it fi rmly. Be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops.

Emergency Preparedness



Neighbors Helping NeighborsWorking with neighbors can save lives and property. Meet with your neighbors to plan how the neighborhood could work together after a disaster until help arrives. If you’re a member of a neighborhood organization, introduce disaster preparedness as a new activity. Know your neighbors’ special needs (e.g. medical, technical) and consider how you could help neighbors who have special needs, such as disabled and elderly persons. Make plans for child care in case parents can’t get home.

Emergency Supplies Keep enough supplies in your home to meet your needs

for at least fi ve days. Assemble a Disaster Supplies Kit with items you may need in an evacuation. Store these supplies in sturdy, easy-to-carry containers such as backpacks, duffl e bags or covered trash containers.

Water (one gallon per person per day) and chlorine bleach to purify it. Store water in sealed, unbreakable containers. Mark the storage dates and replace every six months.

Emergency food and beverage supply (nonperishable food and juices.).

A hand can opener, cooking equipment, fuel for alternate cooking and heating devices.

A change of clothing for each person in the family, rain gear, sturdy shoes.

First aid kit, prescription medicine, and extra pair of eye glasses.

Flashlights, portable radio with batteries, matches, candles.

Credit cards, cash and an extra set of car keys. A list of important family information including the style &

serial number of medical devices such as pacemakers. Special needs for infants, the elderly, and disabled. Sanitation supplies (plastic trash bags, soap, toothbrush

and toothpaste, toilet paper, newspaper, a camp shovel.) Keep important family

documents in a waterproof container.

Keep a smaller kit in the trunk of your car.

EvacuationEvacuate immediately if told to

do so:Listen to your battery-powered radio and follow the instructions of local emergency offi cials.

Wear protective clothing and sturdy shoes. Take your Disaster Supplies Kit. Lock your home. Use travel routes specifi ed by local authorities – don’t use

shortcuts because certain areas may be impassable or dangerous.

If you are sure you have time: Shut off water, gas and electricity before leaving, if

instructed to do so. Post a note telling others when you left and where you are

going. Make arrangements for your pets and livestock.

Home Hazard HuntDuring a disaster, ordinary objects in your home can cause injury or damage. Anything that can move, fall, break or cause a fi re is a home hazard. For example, a hot water heater or a bookshelf can fall. Inspect your home at least once a year and fi x potential hazards. Contact your local fi re department to learn about home fi re hazards.

Food and WaterBe prepared to take care of yourself and your family for up to fi ve days.

Take emergency drinking water from ice cubes, water heater, and canned fruits and vegetables.

Don’t drink unbottled water (including municipal tap water) until it has been strained with a clean cloth and treated. To treat water add ten drops of chlorine bleach to each gallon of water, mix well, and let stand for about 30 minutes.

Frozen foods will last from 48 to 72 hours if the freezer is full and the door stays closed.

Eat perishable foods fi rst. Discard all open food and beverages that may have been

contaminated. Cook on portable grills, but only outdoors.

UtilitiesElectricity Turn off electric ONLY if you see sparks or a fallen wire.

Find the main circuit box, usually on the outside of the house. Locate the main circuit breaker or fuse. Switch the circuit breaker to the off position, or pull out the fuse. Have electrical service restored by a local supplier or contractor.

Gas If you smell gas, evacuate the house. Don’t use the phone,

light switches, or electrical appliances, or do anything that will cause sparks. Go to a phone booth or neighbors house and report the leak to the gas company. Let the gas company repair the leak and turn the gas back on.

Water Find the water shut-off valve inside the house (located

where the water line enters the building). Turn the valve in the direction of the arrow, usually clockwise. If necessary (and possible), shut off the main water valve outside your home. It may be next to the meter in a concrete box in the sidewalk. When the danger has passed, have water service restored by a local supplier.



Tahoma National CemeteryTahoma is the fi rst national cemetery in Washington, comprised of 160 acres, adja-cent to Tahoma High School. The name “Tahoma” was used by the Klickitat indians as their name for Mt. Rainier, the highest peak in Washington.Tahoma provides a dignifi ed burial place for vetarans and dependents and serves as a national shrine. It is managed by the Department of Veterans Aff airs.

The Memorial walkway containing 28 memorials that commemorate soldiers of various 20th century wars, donated by various service organizations is located at the northeast corner of the walkway by the POW-MIA fl ag.

A Blue Star Memorial is located north of the Public Infor-mation Center. The marker was originally part of a banner that families displayed in their homes during the 1940s to signify that they had a loved one fi ghting in World War II. Today, the marker honors all veterans.

Medal of Honor Recipients at Tahoma include:Second Lieutenant Jesse T. Barrick (Civil War), 57th Regiment of the U.S. Colored Infantry. Near Duck River, Tenn., May 26 - June 2, 1863 (Section 8, Grave 108).

Private First Class Dexter J. Kerstetter (World War II), Company C, 130th Infantry, 33rd Infantry Division. Near Galiano, Luzon, Philippine Island, April 13, 1945 (Section 9B, Grave 12).

Sergeant First Class Nathan Ross Chapman -- fi rst American serviceman to die from hostile fi re in the war in Afghanistan in 2002. Sergeant Chapman was a communications specialist with the 1st Special Forces Group at Fort Lewis, Wash. (Sec-tion 6, Grave 33).

Francis Agnes -- former POW (1941 to 1945), survivor of the Bataan Death March, founder of the Tahoma National Cem-etery Support Group (Section 24, Grave 717).

More information can be found online at http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/servlet/NGL_v1

To preservace the site’s beauty, dignity and reverent atmosphere, Tahoma asks for no picnicing, pets or jogging, and please place all litter in refuse containers.
