New Regional Website Makes It Easier Than Ever to Prepare for Emergencies

California has experienced multiple large-scale wildfires and other emergencies that have resulted in numerous fatalities over the last several years. One of the critical lessons learned from these emergencies is that more timely and accurate information could have resulted in fewer deaths.
The Office of Emergency Services (OES) wants San Luis Obispo County to be as informed as possible before, during and after an emergency. To help accomplish this, OES has created a resilient a cloud-hosted emergency-based website, www.ReadySLO.org, which went live at the beginning of August 2019.
Last year, OES worked to design the website in a way that will allow SLO County residents and visitors to easily gather important information online. OES wrote the site content and divided the information into color-coded sections focused on three main topics: emergency preparedness, current emergency information, and recovery information.
