Emergencies & Disasters
From wildfires to avalanches to earthquakes—our community has seen it all. In a disaster, help may not come right away, so make a plan now with your family or caregivers. The best way to stay safe is to prepare ahead for your own needs.

READY Mono is designed to provide residents and visitors with emergency readiness, response, and recovery resources, and share real-time information and critical updates before, during, and after an emergency or natural disaster.
The first step in becoming prepared for an emergency is visiting this portal and signing up for emergency alerts. The second step is to make a plan and ensure that you are as self-sufficient as possible should an emergency arise.
On READY Mono, you can:
- Sign Up for Emergency Alerts
- Find out Your Evacuation Zone
- Sign up for the Access and Functional Needs Registry
- Access up-to-date information on Public Safety Power Shutoffs
The AFN list tells emergency responders who might need extra help in a disaster, like people with health issues, disabilities, or trouble with English. Join the registry here.
