Safety & Emergency Preparedness

Portola Valley Ranch is bisected by the San Andreas fault and surrounded by open space prone to wildfires, so we take emergency preparedness seriously. We have resident volunteer committees as well as staff that work in concert with the local authorities on fire risk reduction, evacuation planning, and earthquake preparedness.

Are you prepared to survive an earthquake? To evacuate during a wildfire threat? It is up to each resident to educate themselves, to make preparations, and to keep informed!
