Emergency Preparedness

“What do you need before, during, or after an emergency?”

From floods to wildfires, communities in San Mateo County have experienced a variety of situations in recent years that foster a clear community desire to be well-prepared, equipped, and supported when an emergency strikes.

The top five themes raised related to emergency preparedness are:

  • Emergency support
  • Emergency communication planning and preparation
  • Emergency supplies & shelters
  • Infrastructure
  • Reduction of hazards

Housing and Homelessness

“What do your needs related to housing and homelessness?”

With the rising cost of living, residents expressed a wide range of needs, like more housing assistance and shelters. Housing affordability is, without a doubt, a pressing issue, with challenges reaching beyond the availability and cost of homes. This multifaceted crisis touches on rent costs and extends to other areas of daily living and well-being. We need innovative solutions to address and alleviate housing challenges.

The top three themes regarding housing and homeless are:

  • Affordable and accessible housing options
  • High cost of living in the county
  • Evictions and housing assistance
