Yellow Brick Road Walking Challenge • How the idea was born • Ann Milton, Diabetes Wellness Program Manager and myself were brainstorming and eventually hit upon the idea of combining a tsunami evacuation training walk and diabetes education. • The idea evolved during the summer until we had also included the nutrition program and the Planning Department in the planning, funding and execution of the event.
Yellow Brick Road Walking Challenge • The first job was to get all the yellow brick road signs placed in both Taholah and Queets • The tee shirt design started as a brainstorming session • We decided on: I Walked the Route and the Tsunami evacuation route graphic surrounded by Quinault Nation and Tsunami Challenge 2011
Yellow Brick Road Walking Challenge • To receive a T shirt, a person must have at least four stamps from the stations along the route. • Each station provided either equipment to start an emergency pack and/or information. • One comical aspect that was brought to our attention was at one station we were providing flashlights and colon cancer information.

Yellow Brick Road Walking Challenge • The final station in Taholah was the BBQ • We had fresh veggies, watermelon, cantaloupe, fruit salad and hamburgers • A number of people spent the day before and the day of the event prepping the food. • In Queets we supplied Subway sandwiches and fresh fruit.
Using the Yellow Brick Road Idea • The Yellow Brick Road signs are simple signs used for directing walking traffic. • These signs can be used for other than tsunami events • Can be used in buildings as a simple route marker for evacuation. • Even young children can follow the yellow brick road signs
