The current fires burning across California, and most closely the CZU Lightning Complex fires in southern San Mateo County and Santa Cruz County (now at 26% containment), are solemn reminders about the importance of emergency preparedness. This video and Ready, Set, Go Guide are great resources from the North County Fire Authority on what you can do to be prepared. And signing up with San Mateo County Alert to receive emergency alerts to your mobile phone is an important step! Our hearts go out to those impacted by the recent fires, and thank you to our Fire and Police personnel who have been deployed to assist with these emergencies.
Don’t forget the following two items for your “To Do” list this weekend: 1) Sign up for FlashVote to be able to quickly give your opinion about important topics in Pacifica, and 2) Follow the 3 Ws – COVID-19 remains a threat that we must all work together to overcome.
Please let us know if you have comments or questions, and thank you for wanting to Connect with Pacifica.
Sincerely,
KEVIN WOODHOUSE
City Manager
