Welcome to the San Mateo County Tsunami Hazard Area Dashboard!

To see if you are in an unsafe area during a tsunami, click the search box at the top of the page and type in an address or choose "Use current location". The pop-up box "Are You In a Hazard Area" will say Yes or No. If you are in the Yellow Zone during a tsunami warning, relocate to the Green Zone.

Overview

The Tsunami Hazard Map was created by the San Mateo County Department of Emergency Management to help identify areas that could potentially be impacted by a tsunami. This map is designed for use by residents within the local jurisdiction and for emergency planning purposes. While the map outlines the worst case scenario (yellow), it does not provide information about the probability of such events occurring nor is it intended to serve as a legal document. #tsunami #SanMateoCounty #CA

This is where I was sitting on a bus stop bench, waiting for the bus yesterday. This is a four-lane arterial #highway running straight through what is otherwise a purely residential neighborhood. The curb height here is maybe 3-4", and the sidewalk is maybe 36-48" wide (less so in front of the bench), with no shoulder whatsoever, no barrier at all to protect anyone from 50-plus mph motor vehicles veering off the roadway. #California #BayArea #SanMateoCounty #urbanism #transit #insanity #BanCars

Never mind that this should just be standard practice year round, every year, pandemic or not...

Because of the increase in #Covid overlapping the #Flu & #Cold season...

#Mask mandates have been reinstated in Bay Area hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and other healthcare facilities

Nov 1 thru March / April 2025.

KTVU FOX 2 · Mask mandates returning to several Bay Area countiesBy Aja Seldon
Continued thread

This is yet another example of how once you get outside of San Francisco, it's a total gay wasteland until you get to at least Palo Alto, if not all the way to San Jose.

There are a great many gay doctors in San Francisco and some in San Jose, but everywhere in between? Nada. None. Zilch.

And the big health networks like Sutter absolutely do not make it a priority to recruit for culturally responsive care.

Madia elegans - The Common Madia

Found in meadows and at the edge of oak woodlands from Baja California del Norte to Washington state.

It has a long blooming season, from early spring to late summer, and provides one of the few sources of pollen for insects in the dry, hot California summer. The stems and leaves are covered in resinous glands with a sweet pine-sap smell.

Photographed at North Crestview Park in San Carlos, California.

*Calochortus luteus* - Yellow Mariposa Lily, found in heavy clay soils in the Bay Area, Sierra foothills, and the inner coast ranges of Central California.

The plant dies back to a dormant bulb during the hottest part of the year, only to re-emerge when the winter rains come. The plant takes 2-4 years of growth before it actually flowers.

The bulbs are edible, and are frequently eaten by invasive pigs and other grazing animals. The best places to see them are in open grasslands without a recent history of grazing. These photos were taken at Edgewood Preserve in San Mateo County.

Bulbs are seasonally available from native nurseries, and are easy to grow if you have the patience.
