We made it through the fire season without a burn, and the tsunami
may have messed up Crescent City again, but it missed Muir Beach. We
may be good, but we sure are lucky. And now the storm window
is opening, and it looks like it might me another corker like last
winter when our neighbors at the bottom of Shoreline were flooded
out of their homes.
The Muir Beach Area Emergency Preparedness Committee has been meeting
regularly. Its members have contacted their neighbors to distribute
emergency preparedness information and to complete the Household
Registries. More than two-thirds of these Household Registries
are now on file with their Neighborhood Liaisons, the Muir Beach
Volunteer Fire Department and the Emergency Preparedness Committee. We
are better prepared than most communities, but we still have a long
way to go.
In addition to making sure that all of our Household Registries
are complete and up-to-date, the Emergency Preparedness Committee
strongly recommends that each and every household have appropriate
first aid, emergency and food supplies to last at least a week. Please
check out the Disaster
Supplies Kit and the Recommended
Foods List for specific recommendations, and make sure that you,
your family and your friends are prepared.
If all this emergency preparation and purchasing of supplies seems
like a bit much at once, please consider the attached Emergency
Preparedness Calendar Checklist and break your emergency preparations
and purchases into twenty-six weekly installments. To help
make this as easy as possible, please check this website and/or your
community bulletin board once a week and we’ll post that week’s
emergency suggestions.
Finally, the Emergency Preparedness Committee also feels that first
aid, CPR and Community Emergency Response Training (CERT) should
also be a high priority for as many of our neighbors as possible. Accordingly,
we are scheduling a first aid and CPR class for the end of January
and a CERT class for the beginning of March. We’ll publish
the details shortly on this website.

Household Registry Form
Muir Beach Residents, please download both pages of the Household
Registry Form, fill them out, and put them in the Muir Beach Volunteer
Fire Department mail box across from the Pelican Inn.
This Household Registry provides the information necessary to ensure
that the Muir Beach community, its Volunteer Fire Department and
other responders are prepared to take action knowledgably and effectively
to everything from individual emergencies to regional disasters.
It helps the community understand and organize the skills, equipment
and supplies available. It has been completed by nearly everyone
in the Muir Beach Area, and is provided to all new residents. If
your Household Registry is not on file or needs to be updated, please
download the attached Household Registry form and return it to the
MBVFD Fire Chief John Sward in the Muir Beach Volunteer Fire Department
mail box.
