Gasquet Neighbors Helping Neighbors

Last night, our Gasquet Neighbors Helping Neighbors group held their monthly meeting and welcomed community members for a hands-on Stop the Bleed training.

A huge THANK YOU to our instructors, Peter Craig and Dennis Louy, for volunteering their time and sharing these potentially lifesaving skills with our community.

We are incredibly fortunate to have volunteers who truly care about helping their neighbors and making Del Norte County more prepared and resilient.

Thank you to everyone who came out, participated, and continues to make Gasquet a community where neighbors truly help neighbors.

25 YEARS. WE REMEMBER.

September 11, 2001, is a day forever etched into the heart of our nation.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives taken too soon. We remember the firefighters, law enforcement officers, paramedics, dispatchers, military members, and ordinary people who ran toward danger to help others. We remember the families who said goodbye that morning without knowing it would be the last time.

We also remember what followed.

In the midst of unimaginable tragedy, people reached for one another. Strangers became neighbors. Communities stood together. Countless acts of courage, compassion, and selflessness reminded us of the very best of humanity.

Today, the Del Norte County Office of Emergency Services pauses to honor every life lost, every family forever changed, every responder who served, and all those who continue to carry the impacts of that day.

THANK YOU! TSUNAMI BEACH COMPANY

Del Norte County Office of Emergency Services is excited to recognize Tsunami Beach Company as one of our Tsunami Prepared Partner!

A huge thank you to Dawn, owner of Tsunami Beach Company, for taking an extra step to help make her business, her customers, and our community more prepared for a tsunami.

Dawn now has tsunami preparedness information displayed at her business, including a local evacuation map, evacuation route information, natural warning signs to watch for, and information about tsunami alerts.

Most importantly, Dawn is helping make sure that if a tsunami does happen, she has the knowledge to take action and help point her customers toward safety.

🌊 WHAT IS A TSUNAMI PREPARED PARTNER?

The Tsunami Prepared Partner program is a way for Del Norte County OES to work directly with local businesses to help owners and employees understand what to do before and during a tsunami.

OES can help your business by:

• Providing evacuation maps and helping you understand the best evacuation routes from your location
• Teaching you and your staff the warning signs of a tsunami and when to evacuate immediately
• Explaining the different tsunami alerts and what they mean
• Providing preparedness information you can display for employees, customers, and visitors
• Training your staff on what actions to take during a tsunami
• Helping employees understand what they can tell customers and visitors during an emergency

Our goal is to give our local businesses practical information and tools they can use when it matters most.

💙 Thank you again, Tsunami Beach Company, for stepping up and leading the way as one of our Tsunami Prepared Partners!
