Emergency Preparedness

Sign up for Emergency Messaging system Here

In the event of a major earthquake 
the first step is to survive. 

When the ground stops shaking, grab your go-bag and evacuate to higher ground.
​Do not wait for a siren - we may only have 10 minutes before the wave hits. 
If you can walk DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR - the roads will likely be damaged and/or traffic congestion will actually slow you down. Please leave road space for those elderly and disabled who truly need a ride.
