Last week's earthquake and the subsequent tsunami warning were great reminders of how Alerts can help you be prepared and stay informed during emergencies.
Please take a moment and subscribe to SMC Alert to receive Emergency alerts via email, text and voice calls sent through San Mateo Department of Emergency Management and the City of Menlo Park Emergency Services.
To receive alerts about earthquakes, please download the MyShake app.
For additional information on preparedness for earthquakes, please review tips for creating a home plan and developing kits for work and your car here.
In addition to SMCAlert and the MyShake app, it is helpful to check the National Weather Service Bay Area forecast or follow them on your preferred social channel, especially during our wet weather season. Tips on how to prepare for possible flooding can be found at menlopark.gov/storms.
