(Apologies - we're trying to post this again because it seems it didn't post properly the first time. Please respond if you can see this post!)

Hello Community,

As you may already know, our region is expecting the first major winter storm of the season to hit tonight. Mendocino County is expected to receive 5 to 9 inches of rain Tuesday November 19 through Thursday November 21, with more rain likely later on. The county is under a flood watch from 4 am Wednesday to 4 am Friday.

When our office is open, Action Network offers community members the ability to charge their devices during a power outage using our external generator. However, if we are closed, please refer to other local resources:

The Coast Community Library plans to stay open as long as there is sunlight, with or without power. Restrooms and a landline available.

Mendonoma Health Alliance will be open and providing services with limited staffing. MHA’s main office line is 707-412-3176 x 102.

Contact Redwood Coast Medical Services' Disaster Coordinator Chris Behrens at [email protected] or contact RCMS at 707-884-4005.

The Hubs & Routes Project (hubsandroutes.net) provides tools such as downloadable maps of Mendocino County areas and evacuation routes.

Some important storm safety tips:

- Strong winds (up to 50 mph) are expected, so try to secure any outdoor items.

- Charge your phone and any power banks you might have before a power outage.

- Avoid traveling if possible. If you need to travel, check road conditions & forecasts before you go and pack a small emergency bag with blankets, water, and snacks to take in the car. Don’t drive through floodwaters - remember “turn around, don’t drown”.

- If you have a generator, make sure you have enough fuel. Never use a generator indoors - not even in a partially enclosed space like a garage.

- If you are in a low-lying area or near a river, keep an eye on flood warnings and figure out an evacuation route ahead of time.

- Pack a go bag with copies of ID and insurance cards, cash, local maps, medications, phone charger/backup battery, flashlight, & first aid kit.

- Stay up to date by signing up for emergency alerts like MendoAlert & Nixle.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our Community Resilience Advocate Annalisse Eclipse at [email protected].

Stay safe and warm everyone!

Action Network was thrilled to see so many people come out on Halloween to enjoy the Haunted Garden this year! A big thanks to Pacific Community Charter middle schoolers and Action Networks Teen Action Project youth, who helped create some of the spooky decorations, and to Wild Heart Farm, who donated the fresh organic chicken feet and heads that added an extra authentic fright! Also, thank you, Chris McKay and Myra McNamara, for letting us use all your sea-worthy decorations to pull off the pirate theme! It was a fun night in the Haunted Garden, and a wonderful local tradition Action Network is happy to be a part of.

On Saturday, November 9th a lecture will happen at the Action Network office from 1-3pm on the power of the soil food web for composting and soil building. Then we will shift to the Point Arena Community Garden from 3-5pm for the hands-on experience of filling the compost bins!

We want to thank everyone who came to the Haunted Garden last night, we had a blast! Unfortunately, some items may have accidentally been taken from the treasure chest. The decorations were important to one of our staff members so we would really love to see them return home. There was a golden chain belt and some seashell necklaces. If you find that they made their way into your child's bag please return them to Action Network so we can reunite them with their owner!
