PRE Fire Evacuation Exercise – Friday, December 1

Register Now to Participate and Attend Prep Zoom Call

We are excited to announce that IRA in partnership with the Marin County Fire Department, Sheriff’s Office and Point Reyes Disaster Council will be launching a fire evacuation exercise specifically for our PRE community on Friday December 1 from approximately 10:00 am -11:00 am. This exercise will also involve the California Highway Patrol and Office of Emergency Management. This year’s fire evacuation exercise is a significant commitment of time and resources specifically dedicated to PRE for a custom program that will be the next level up in scope from the exercise we did Spring of last year.

Due to the importance of DVD as our primary evacuation route, Senior Fire Captain Ben Ghisletta intends this December 1 exercise to increase our situational awareness while using DVD during an emergency. This will involve real life road scenarios, including using live fire engines. The goal is to give both residents and emergency responders a realistic experience and training that we will need during an actual emergency.

PRE residents will have an opportunity to get more information and meet with the senior planning officials on a PRE Fire Evacuation preparatory zoom call Saturday November 11 from 11:00 am -12:00 pm. We will send out a save the date for the November 11 zoom meeting .

We are strongly encouraging residents to take part in the December 1 exercise both to show our support for the important collaboration we have with our emergency responders and to learn from this real life experience. Our December 1 exercise is the only fire evacuation exercise to be conducted in West Marin in 2023.
