Mendocino County Office of Emergency Services urges residents to use mendoready.org for preparedness
Summary
At the March 12 Mendocino County Board meeting, Office of Emergency Services staff encouraged residents to use mendoready.org, sign up for alerts and prepare a 72-hour emergency kit.
Staff from the Mendocino County Office of Emergency Services used the March 12 Board of Supervisors meeting to remind residents about county preparedness resources and to urge people to sign up for alerts.
An OES spokesperson said the county's preparedness hub is available at mendoready.org, where residents can find local hazard information, pre-established evacuation zones and tools such as Nixle and wildfire-camera feeds. The speaker recommended that each household prepare a "go bag" and an emergency kit that supports self-sufficiency for 72 hours, and suggested families gather important documents and make a household plan. "Visit mendoready.org. It's our 1 stop shop for emergency information," the spokesperson said.
OES staff also highlighted situational-awareness tools including Nixle and Caltrans road-condition cameras and encouraged residents to sign up for county alerts. These remarks were delivered as informational announcements during the public expression portion of the meeting; the board recessed to closed session thereafter and recorded no reportable action related to emergency services.
The recommendations reported here are the statements of county emergency-management staff at the March 12 meeting. No new policies or funding were announced during the remarks.
