Great info for anyone experiencing a power outage related to Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). Even if your area isn’t identified as an area of concern by utility companies, it’s ideal to plan ahead and know what to do when power is out #psps @Cal_OES

Life-threatening emergencies can happen fast & emergency responders aren’t always nearby.

@FEMARegion9 Youth Preparedness Council member Catherine Renteria tells us how we can get involved in our community's preparedness to help until help arrives.

When an #earthquake hits while you’re sleeping you do your #safeplaceselfie in bed. If you’re in bed during an earthquake, your bed IS your safe place. Best thing to do is to stay there and cover your head. A 3.5 shaker hit near the OC/RivCo border at 5:06 a.m. Did you feel it?

Disasters cause extreme stress & not everyone knows how to cope. Today, EMD provided psychological first aid to teach RivCo agencies, partners, volunteers to reduce distress from traumatic events. At home, pack comforting items for kids in your emergency kit #PrepareNow #RivCoNow
