HUBS & ROUTES
readiness tools for the mendocino coast
Heavy storms can flood our highways. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and ocean rise can collapse our roads and bridges. This divides our long coastline into “islands” bordered by rivers. Each Island can prepare to survive and thrive even when Highway One is closed.
Our maps help in this effort by revealing a network of alternate routes and a growing, searchable database of organizations and individuals who are offering to help.
