Emergency Preparedness

The City of Cotati has an emergency operations plan to protect public safety and plan for continuity of city services during a disaster. However, depending on the severity of the disaster, first responders may be overwhelmed with emergencies and unable to immediately assist you. Therefore, it is essential that you be prepared to be on your own for a minimum of 3 to 5 days.
