Announcement for this event:
MYN Monthly Meeting – Thursday November 16 at 3:00 p.m. in the East Rec Center.
A special Meet Your Neighbors (MYN) meeting Nov. 16 will focus on emergency preparedness advances in Sonoma County and the City of Santa Rosa with guest speaker Nancy Brown, PhD., community preparedness program manager for Sonoma County. Joining Dr. Brown are Paul Lowenthal, Santa Rosa Division Chief Fire Marshal, and Neil Bregman, Santa Rosa Emergency Preparedness Manager, who will address changes and improvements in the Santa Rosa Fire Department.
Dr. Brown’s presentation looks at the significant changes in the county emergency management system since 2017. Topics include alerts and warning, new emergency operations standards, preparedness programs, and more. Dr. Brown’s long-term objectives include continued development of pragmatic ways to build disaster resilience that engage communities and businesses in a systemic way – resulting in a culture of resilience. The county and city have initiated several new programs in preparedness over the past six years and many of those measures will be discussed.
There will also be prizes at this meeting: a stocked Go-Bag, NOAA radio and more.
