The Transportation Museum of San Diego and Imperial Counties is a non-profit organization formed in 2018 to help preserve the rich ground transportation history of San Diego and Imperial Counties. Their mission is to preserve and interpret the historical story of San Diego’s transportation routes, envision the future of regional transportation, foster interest in how mobility decisions impact society, and serve diverse communities and environments.
Emergency Alert Systems
Fires, floods, earthquakes, and more are just a part of life in Southern California. Most of the County governments, and even cities, have a “Reverse 911” or “Alert System” for residents. You can sign up for these and be alerted to various things like evacuation orders and pending flood dangers.
Stay safe, Stay Informed, and Sign Up Today!
