County of Marin

Emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility, and we take it seriously. To help new employees understand their role during disasters, the County recently launched its first onboarding training for Disaster Service Worker (DSW) responsibilities. The three-hour session introduced about 50 new team members to key topics in Emergency Management, Personal Preparedness, and Workplace Safety and Risk. Through three modules—Emergency Management and the DSW Role, Personal Preparedness (led by ReadyMarin), and Workplace Safety and Risk Management (led by the County Safety Officer)—employees gained practical tools to stay prepared at home and work. By investing in staff preparedness, the County strengthens its ability to respond to wildfires, earthquakes, power outages, and other emergencies. Even employees who may never enter the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) play a vital role in ensuring County operations continue during a disaster. For those who want to learn more, the County also offers a bi-monthly EOC 101 course that explores how coordination, communication, and teamwork support our community when it matters most. Preparedness starts with each of us. Visit ReadyMarin.org to build your emergency plan and explore free resources to help keep you, your family, and our community safe. *** La preparación ante emergencias es una responsabilidad compartida, y nosotros la toma muy en serio. Para ayudar a las nuevas personas empleadas a comprender su papel durante los desastres, el Condado lanzó recientemente su primera capacitación de incorporación sobre las responsabilidades de los Trabajadores de Servicio en Desastres (DSW, por sus siglas en inglés). La sesión de tres horas reunió a aproximadamente 50 integrantes del equipo y abordó temas clave de Gestión de Emergencias, Preparación Personal y Seguridad y Riesgos en el Lugar de Trabajo. A través de tres módulos —Gestión de Emergencias y el Rol del DSW, Preparación Personal (dirigido por ReadyMarin) y Seguridad y Gestión de Riesgos en el Lugar de Trabajo (dirigido por el Oficial de Seguridad del Condado)— el personal obtuvo herramientas prácticas para mantenerse preparado en el hogar y el trabajo. Al invertir en la preparación del personal, el Condado fortalece su capacidad de respuesta ante incendios forestales, terremotos, cortes de energía y otras emergencias. Incluso quienes tal vez nunca ingresen al Centro de Operaciones de Emergencia (EOC) desempeñan un papel esencial para garantizar que las operaciones del Condado continúen durante un desastre. Para quienes deseen aprender más, el Condado también ofrece el curso EOC 101 cada dos meses, que explora cómo la coordinación, la comunicación y el trabajo en equipo apoyan a nuestra comunidad cuando más lo necesita. La preparación comienza con cada uno de nosotros. Visite ReadyMarin.org para crear su plan de emergencia y explorar recursos gratuitos que ayudan a mantener seguros a usted, su familia y nuestra comunidad.
