Mammoth Lakes Community Update: August 12, 2022

Evacuation Exercise Conducted in the Trails Neighborhood

On August 10, the Mono County Office of Emergency Management in coordination with the Town of Mammoth Lakes conducted an evacuation exercise in the Trails Neighborhood.  The purpose of the exercise was to test both Code Red and IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert & Warning System) public safety communication platforms, respond to and manage a multi-agency incident, and to test in real-time the evacuation system. Organizers of the exercise would like to thank the residents of the Trails for their participation in the exercise, for viewing the new Zonehaven evacuation system – and finding their zone, and for signing up for Emergency Alerts – all critical steps in being prepared for the next emergency or natural disaster. Agencies that participated in the exercise included the Mammoth Lakes Fire Protection District, Inyo National Forest, Mammoth Lakes Police Department, Mono County Sheriff, multiple departments from Mono County, and the Town of Mammoth Lakes. Please contact the Mono County Office of Emergency Management at (760) 924-4633 for additional information or visit the READY Mono Preparedness Portal.
