Dear Neighbors:

If an emergency situation such as a flood, earthquake or other natural disaster occurred today, how prepared are you and your family? What about an extended power outage?

Do you have enough supplies to take care of your visitors or help out your neighbors?

What if Borrego Springs was isolated for several weeks as a result of this disaster?

If you could not return home because of road blockage, do you have someone to look after your home or animals?

Did you know that you can register your cellular phone number at www.ReadySanDiego.org and receive emergency notifications through the San Diego County reverse 911 system?

No one likes to imagine a situation like this occurring but it has happened before and will likely happen again. The agencies listed above will be working together to restore and protect the community after a disaster, but your level of comfort and survival depends on YOU!

Please take a minute to review the attached materials and checklist. Many of you may already be prepared, but when was the last time you checked on your emergency supplies?

Farmers' Market
Christmas Circle Park
Borrego Springs, CA  92004
 
every Friday, 7am - 12pm  (Nov - June)
 
Do not be fooled by the desert climate. Borrego Springs is home to some of the best produce in Southern California.  Some of the products available include flowers, fruit, vegetables and fresh bread. Yet, while the farmer's market offers a plethora of healthy fruits and vegetables, dessert is not forgotten. This event is also famous for homemade fudge.
