Additional Emergency Preparedness Resources for Pinole Citizens
In addition to our “Pinole Ready” emergency preparedness tips listed on the Fire Department website, the City would also like to encourage citizens to visit the U.S. Federal Government emergency preparedness “Ready” website at www.ready.gov
“Ready” is a National public service campaign designed to educate and empower the American people to prepare for, respond to and mitigate emergencies, including natural and man-made disasters. The goal of the campaign is to promote preparedness through public involvement. On the website, you will find a plethora of resources to help prepare for emergencies ranging from wildfires to earthquakes, extreme heat to extreme cold, and just about any other natural or man-made emergency you can think of. There’s even a special section for kids, aptly called “Ready Kids”, where children and teens can learn how to be active participants in helping their families prepare for emergencies. Ready Kids has tools and information on how to help before, during and after disasters.
In an effort to keep informed on current emergencies which may impact residents, the City encourages residents sign up to receive notifications of critical safety information regarding wildfires and other emergency situations.
The Contra Costa County Community Warning System (CWS) is an all-hazards integrated system designed to warn and inform our residents about an emergency or disaster and the protective action residents need to take to stay safe.
