It is imperative that citizens prepare for all types of natural and/or man-made disasters that may plague our communities, such as earthquakes, wildfires, El Niño, floods, mudslides, or windstorms. This page provides essential guidelines and informative tools for residents to formulate an effective and organized plan for such occurrences.
