Mendocino County airs preparedness and stormwater public service announcements; residents urged to sign up for alerts
Summary
During the county’s Dec. 2 special meeting prerecorded public service announcements promoted mendoready.org, urged residents to sign up for Nixle and county alerts, pack a family go bag and maintain a 72‑hour emergency kit; a separate PSA encouraged actions to prevent stormwater pollution.
Mendocino County’s public service announcements played during the Board of Supervisors’ special meeting on Dec. 2, 2025, urging residents to visit mendoready.org to find local hazards, sign up for Nixle and county alerts, and prepare by assembling individualized go bags and keeping important documents accessible.
The county Office of Emergency Services (OES) PSAs encouraged households to identify evacuation zones on the county’s map, plan routes and communication methods, and assemble an emergency kit with supplies to remain self‑sufficient for 72 hours. The announcements also directed listeners to Ready.gov for additional checklist guidance.
A separate stormwater PSA advised residents that runoff from streets flows directly into creeks, encouraged use of professional car washes or diverting wash water to permeable areas, and reminded pet owners to pick up waste to avoid contaminating waterways. The PSA directed listeners to streetstocreeks.org for more information.
The recorded messages repeated several key actions: sign up for alerts at mendoready.org, assemble a go bag for each family member, store important documents near the go bag, and limit activities that send pollutants into storm drains. No public discussion or questions about the PSAs occurred in the public portion of the meeting.
