September is National Preparedness Month

Disasters can happen without warning—from winter storms and flooding to wildfires and power outages. September is National Preparedness Month, and this year’s theme is ‘Americans Stand Ready’.

With active wildfires in nearby counties and stormy El Niño weather ahead, getting ready now is super important. When families take simple steps to prepare, our firefighters and paramedics can focus on saving lives during big emergencies, and our whole community can recover much faster.

3 simple steps you can take this month:

- Make a Plan: Practice how your family will get out of the house and where you will meet if there’s an emergency and your phones don’t work.

- Build a Kit: Put together enough food, water, and medicine to last everyone (including pets!) in your home for at least 3 days.

- Stay Alert: Sign up for free local emergency alerts at AlertSCC.org.

Follow all month long for more safety tips!

Sustainable Back-to-School

Back-to-school season is a great time to make a few simple, sustainable choices. Reusing supplies, repairing what you already have, and choosing secondhand items can help reduce waste while saving money.

Which of these ideas will you try this school year?

Eucalyptus Trees on Highway 9

At the August 18, 2026 City Council meeting the Council will consider whether or not to adopt a resolution to support the removal of the eucalyptus trees in the median of Highway 9 through Monte Sereno.

Eucalyptus trees are known to be a potential fire hazard as their bark and oils make them highly flammable. They also have shallow and widespread roots which can make them prone to uprooting and falling in high winds, particularly if the soil is wet from rain.

More information is available in the staff report, which is available in the City Council meeting agenda (item #5) online at: https://montesereno.civicweb.net/Portal/MeetingInformation.aspx?Org=Cal&Id=7472

The City is seeking resident feedback and comments on this issue. Comments can be made at the meeting (in person or remotely by signing on with the Zoom link at the top of the agenda). Comments can also be emailed ahead of the meeting to the City Manager at: [email protected]

Pet Waste

Summer is a great time to get outside and enjoy a walk with your dog. Please remember to pick up after your pet and place the waste in the trash. Pet waste can contain harmful bacteria, and water from sprinklers or hoses can carry it into storm drains that flow directly to the Bay.

Automotive Pollutants

🚗 Your car can leave more than tire tracks behind.
Oil, coolant, brake dust, and other vehicle fluids can collect on driveways, parking lots, and streets. When it rains, these pollutants can wash into storm drains and flow directly to local creeks without treatment.
Help protect our waterways by:
🔧 Repairing vehicle leaks promptly
🧽 Using a commercial car wash
🧹 Cleaning spills with absorbent material instead of water
♻️ Properly disposing of used oil and automotive fluids
A well-maintained vehicle helps keep our streets and creeks clean. Learn more at CleanCreeks.org. 💧
