What are the benefits to the residents of Marin County of a new Emergency Operations Facility?
The new Emergency Operations Facility could provide enormous benefits by saving lives, preventing injuries, and reducing economic losses. In the event of a major disaster, a modern facility will help public safety agencies and the Office of Emergency Services prepare for and more effectively respond to the life safety needs of the public. As evidenced by Hurricane Katrina, the County must be prepared to deal with a major disaster for at least one week. The County cannot afford to wait for Federal and State authorities to respond to an area-wide disaster.
