With the onset of peak fire season, Sonoma County officials, state lawmakers and first responders are ratcheting up efforts to help the public prepare for emergencies.
Sonoma Ready Day will offer preparedness resources, demonstrations, advice for residents and ranchers, along with 2,400 free emergency kits available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 10 a.m. Sunday at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds. The event runs until 3 p.m.
A $100,000 donation from the Tribal Council of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria paid for the kits, designed to provide two people with essential emergency supplies for three days.
'Our tribe is committed to helping keep the community safe,' tribal chairman Greg Sarris said in a statement.
