Tsunami Awareness Community Meeting for Alamedans
2019-10-30 18:30 | City Hall, 2263 Santa Clara Ave, Alameda, CA, 94501
The City of Alameda invites you to participate in community meetings to prepare boaters and Alameda community members for a tsunami. Despite Alameda not having experienced a significant tsunami, there is a potential for it, especially after a major seismic event. The probability of a tsunami impacting Alameda is low, but the risk of significant damage is high.

Tsunami Presentation for Boaters and the Marinas
What: To prepare the boating community for a tsunami
Who: Presenters will include local, state, and federal tsunami experts
When: Thursday, September 19, 6:30 pm
Where: City Hall, City Council Chambers, 2263 Santa Clara Avenue

Tsunami Presentation for Alamedans
What: To prepare Alameda residents, employers, and others
Who: Presenters will include local, state, and federal tsunami experts
When: Wednesday, October 30, 6:30 pm
Where: City Hall, City Council Chambers, 2263 Santa Clara Avenue

If a tsunami is expected, the City of Alameda would issue tsunami warnings to alert the public of areas that would need to evacuate (Figure 1). To receive tsunami warnings as well as other emergency alerts by voice, text, and email, click on the “subscribe” button on the AC Alert website: acgov.org/emergencysite. The warnings would provide official tsunami wave arrival time estimates so you are able to plan accordingly.
Tsunamis can cause rapid changes in water level and unpredictable dangerous currents that are magnified in marinas, ports, and harbors, and can inundate bay communities. Damaging wave activity can continue for many hours following initial tsunami impact. Although Alameda’s shorelines are considered “sheltered” waters, impacts of a large tsunami along the coast could cause a devastating surge in tidal areas all along the inside of the San Francisco Bay.
For more information on disaster preparedness including training with Alameda’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program, please visit: alamedaca.gov/Departments/Fire-Department/Disaster-Preparedness.

Jammie Drive
2018-12-10 | Community Center, 3195 Mecartney Road, Alameda, CA, 94502, United States
Now in its sixth year, this family-friendly holiday drive helps clothe the women and children residents of Alameda’s Midway Shelter, their safe house, and the San Leandro Shelter with new, cozy jammies, socks, and underthings to open on Christmas Day. Bay Farm residents, Merideth and Kevin Mehlberg, host the drive on behalf of their executive career coaching company, MMI.
This year’s party culminating the drive will be held on Monday, December 10, 2018 and is a fun opportunity for donors to come together to celebrate the true spirit of the holidays. This year’s event will include Bollywood dancing, kid’s art activities, bluegrass music by local family band the Barefoot Quayles as well as delicious food provided by Alameda caterer Gather and Grub.
For the fifth year in a row, the Harbor Bay Community Center has generously offered the space to host this event. Not only has the Jammie Drive become a local family holiday tradition, it has grown to be the most successful holiday drive for the Building Futures for Women and Children organization. Each year our local community “adopts” as many as 200 shelter residents, as well as raises additional funds for use by the Building Futures for Women and Children team to support shelter residents.
The Jammie Drive gifts are provided to the residents of three local facilities that support victims of domestic violence. Some residents are single women, others are single moms with one to several children each, ranging in age from six months to the teenage years.
Founders Merideth and Kevin Mehlberg, and their team of volunteers, set up a website to sign up to purchase gifts from a list that include special requests and size information. Gifts include pajamas, socks, underwear and small soft toys for the families.
Anyone wishing to participate in the 2018 Jammie Drive, please visit meridethmehlberg.com/holiday-jammie-drive/ for more information. You can sign up to be notified when the adoption list is published and adoptions are underway on the FAQ page.
Here’s to a fun and festive holiday season and another successful Jammie Drive at Harbor Bay Community Center.
