On Thursday, Marin County and its 11 Cities and Towns will participate in a Countywide Emergency Preparedness Exercise. Operation Silver Sentinel will take place 2 days after a magnitude 6.9 earthquake along the Hayward Fault. This blog will post information and press release information leading up to, during, and after the exercise.
THIS IS AN EXERCISE ONLY – THIS IS AN EXERCISE ONLY
At 10:01 AM PST there was a 6.9 earthquake along the Hayward Fault. Initial damage estimates are high. There are many injuries being reported and communications have been significantly impacted. Fortunately, the internet is working for the time being.
This post includes a link to footage that was captured by Novato Public Access when the event occurred. The Civic Center has suffered significant damage – we expect to activate the Alternate EOC in the Jail within the next few hours. We will provide additional information as soon as it is available.
