Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Prepared The City of Mill Valley is a beautiful place to live and play, with canyons and creeks and waterfalls, towering redwoods and stunning vistas. But the fact remains, Mill Valley also is a place of great risks - risk from earthquakes, wildfire, severe winter storms, landslides, flash floods and tidal flooding. In fact ALL of these have occurred here - many times - and lives, homes and businesses have been lost in our community as a result. Our narrow streets and steep hills, exacerbate these risks, and make Mill Valley one of the highest risk places in the state. The risks are real, and thus it is important that you are aware of them and informed about what you can do to mitigate their impact on you, your family and neighborhood, or your business and your employees and customers. What to do? Become as SELF SUFFICIENT as possible!    Household_PLAN.htmlHousehold_KIT.htmlWarnings_%26_Alerts.html
