This past Saturday’s Preparedness Event at the Palm Desert Community Center brought together more than 25 county agencies, state partners, nonprofits, and our amazing collaborating partners to share emergency readiness information with residents. Children enjoyed seeing emergency vehicles up close, and families learned practical steps to prepare for disasters. Our team also participated in the preparedness event in Lake Elsinore, where we shared additional emergency preparedness information with the community.

• Have an emergency plan for you and your family
• Update your emergency kit
• Make a family communication plan
• Sign up for Alert RivCo and download the Genasys Protect app (RivCoReady.org/AlertRivCo)

Help Riverside County identify risks, assess capabilities, and formulate a strategy to reduce disaster vulnerability as part of our 2028 update to the county’s Local Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Public participation and feedback is a vital part of the hazard mitigation planning process. Attend one of two planning meetings to take a simple online survey. The survey asks questions about natural hazards and their impact on the community members of Riverside County. Find more information and take the survey at: RivCoReady.org/LHMP.
