National Night Out 2019

We were there! The recent National Night Out (NNO) events in Martinez were held at Les Schwab Tires and The Alhambra Valley Christmas Tree Farm, and in Pacheco at the Community Center.

September is Emergency Preparedness Month. You know the earthquakes are shaking the rest of the world. It’s not a matter of IF a big one will shake up California, it’s a matter of when. Are you ready? Training is free, and is very empowering.
