Drill Baby Drill in Scott Valley

City officials, first responders, local residents and an assortment of aid groups rallied for a simulated wildfire drill and evacuation Saturday.

More than 160 Scott Valley residents and dozens of first responders and volunteers participated in an Saturday morning, simulating a devastating wildfire with serving as a command post.

At 9 a.m., an evacuation siren and a reverse 9-1-1 dialing system notified Scott Valley residents of an evacuation by foot, bicycle or car. The evacuees were asked to complete a short survey at the school after the drill ended.

Once residents arrived at Edna Maguire, they received emergency preparedness information and had a chance to visit with organizations like the Red Cross, Marin Humane Society, Whistlestop Wheels, Marin Medical Reserve Corps, Mill Valley Emergency Preparedness Commission and the Salvation Army.
