Mendocino County Office of Emergency Services urges residents to use MendoReady.org for preparedness
Summary
At the May 7 Mendocino County Board meeting, the county Office of Emergency Services promoted MendoReady.org and urged residents to sign up for alerts, identify evacuation zones and prepare 72-hour emergency kits.
The Mendocino County Office of Emergency Services used the board meeting on May 7, 2025, to encourage residents to prepare for emergencies and to visit MendoReady.org for preparedness information. The OES spokesperson described resources on the site, including hazards maps, evacuation-zone lookups and templates for family emergency plans.
The speaker urged residents to sign up for Nixle and county alerts and recommended that each family member prepare a "go bag" and assemble important documents near that bag. "A prepared community is a resilient community that will recover faster from disasters," the Office of Emergency Services said in the recorded announcement.
Why it matters: Mendocino County has wildfire and other natural-hazard risks; the OES message focused on practical steps residents can take before an emergency — signing up for alerts, identifying evacuation zones and assembling 72-hour emergency kits — and directed listeners to mendoready.org for tools such as cameras and road-condition information.
The announcement was made during the meeting's public-information segments and was presented as a county service announcement rather than a board action or agenda item.
