Update from the Point Reyes Disaster Council

For the Covid-19 incident, the Point Reyes Disaster Council (“PRDC”) is remotely activated, ie, for communications. I would like to thank our many community volunteers.

The PRDC’s super volunteer operations group/think-tank (Rich Clarke,
Peggy Day, Madeline Hope) assists with activities, including Marin HHS food-sufficiency conference calls & Point Reyes Disaster Council planning. Early on, all three gave input to social distance posters that Madeline & her son Peter made, which were distributed to other disaster councils requesting them.
PRDC Neighborhood Liaisons and Area Coordinators made an estimated headcount for the county’s Emergency Ops Center of population by age group in PRS, Olema, Inverness Park & Marshall, to help with planning for possible future food needs.
The PRDC Coordinator posts relevant info on West Marin Commons (as do dedicated locals), NextDoor Point Reyes/Inverness and, organized by topic, on pointreyesdisastercouncil.org/Safety Info.
The PRDC Coordinator participates in the twice-weekly conference calls run by Marin HHS about food sufficiency, distribution & future planning, with West Marin Senior Services; the food pantries in Point Reyes Station (West Marin Community Services), Tomales (Town Hall), San Geronimo Valley (Community Center), Bolinas (Community Center);Walnut Place; and the disaster council coordinators in Bolinas, San Geronimo Valley and Tomales.
PRDC Neighborhood Liaisons and Area Coordinators made an estimated headcount for the county’s Emergency Ops Center of population by age group in PRS, Olema, Inverness Park & Marshall, to help with planning for possible future food needs.

The PRDC also participates, as needed, in a weekly conference call run by Marin VOAD; and agreed to supply Coastal Health Alliance with certain equipment for any future testing needs.
