Natural Disaster Preparedness
Are you prepared to interact with the environment at its most chaotic?
Fire season in Sonoma County officially began on May 17th, 2021. We would all like to avoid another harrowing fire season, but our only realistic choice is to be prepared, be aware of weather patterns (wind & humidity) & make sure you will receive hazard alerts in a timely manner. You can watch the recording of my "Wildfire Links to Earthquakes (Sonoma County Geology)" presentation to learn about local natural hazards so that you can better prepare for events we hope we will not have to experience. Hope, & get prepared anyway.
