Emergency Preparedness-Evacuation Safety
Here in the City of Mill Valley, we are the definition of a Wildland-Urban Interface. Our homes and streets blanket the landscape from the bay, through the valley flats and deep into the wooded mountain ridges and drainages. With these scenic views, come the complex and limited routes of access.
