Full Notification

Monterey County Office of Emergency Services has activated the Operational Area Emergency Operations Center to Level Three (minimum level) through the duration of the US Open in support of Incident Command. Text 93953 to 888777 to sign up for Nixle. Please report any information regarding a possible incident by calling 9-1-1. Operational Area (OA) – An OA is the intermediate level of the State's emergency management organization which encompasses a county’s boundaries and all political subdivisions located within that county, including special districts. The OA facilitates and/or coordinates information, resources, and decisions regarding priorities among local governments within the OA. The OA serves as the coordination and communication link between the Local Government Level and Regional Level. State, federal, and tribal jurisdictions in the OA may have statutory authorities for response similar to that at the local level. Level Three EOC Activation: Level Three is a minimum activation. This level may be used for situations which initially only require a few people, e.g., alerts of storms, or tsunamis; or monitoring of a low-risk planned event.
