Marin County Fire Chiefs Launch New Website
The site focuses on planning and preparation for the many threats Marin County faces everyday including wildfire, earthquakes and flooding. With easy and clear navigation, the site contains vital information for residents of all ages on how they can prepare their family and home as well as building community resilience.
“Our goal is to make disaster preparedness accessible to everyone, and our new site has resources from how to pack a go-bag, making evacuation plans to signing up for disaster preparedness classes,“ said Elaine Wilkinson, Marin County’s Emergency Preparedness Coordinator. Ruben Martin, Marin County Fire Chief President added, “Ready Marin is a great resource for residents to learn about disaster preparedness in order to be able to take care of themselves, their families, and their neighbors during and after a disaster”.
The new site enhances and simplifies the user experience, enabling the public to easily access documents and information.
