Disaster Preparedness
The Inverness Association works with Inverness Disaster Council, Inverness Fire Department, Fire Wise Inverness, Point Reyes Disaster Council, Marin County Fire, other agencies, and community members to improve the ability of Inverness and its residents to prepare for earthquakes, fires, and other natural disasters.
Disaster Councils
Disaster Councils operate under their respective fire departments. Volunteer Neighborhood Liaisons connect with residents in their neighborhood and share safety information. During emergencies they may act as “eyes and ears” for first responders.
Contact the coordinator of your Disaster Council to connect with your Neighborhood Liaison or to become a volunteer.
Inverness Disaster Council: Ann Elliott. email idccs2022@gmail.com or leave a message at 415-669-7151
Point Reyes Disaster Council (covering Inverness Park): Roy Pitts, email tracingrp@gmail.com
