Town of Ross Evacuation Drill

Posted on
Ross Valley Evacuation Drill

For the first time in more than three years, the Town of Ross held an evacuation drill for their residents. The main purpose was to test the Marin County emergency alert system, AlertMarin, and practice how to evacuate for a real-time emergency.

All participating residents received a preparedness packet, evacuation tags, and of course, donuts. 

Why is AlertMarin Important?

It’s your life-saving alert defense. Emergency officials use the AlertMarin Emergency Notification System to deliver incident-specific information or potentially life-saving instruction to the precise geographic area(s) affected.

  • Learn more about AlertMarin and other ways to get information on the Sign Up for Alerts page.

We always say that preparedness starts with you! It doesn’t take long to make a plan, share with those close to you and gather the supplies you’ll need to stay or evacuate. We have tips and checklists to help you get started.
