Storage Facility Houses RVs, Trailers, Boats

The City’s RV Storage Facility at Ryan Ranch was built to provide Monterey residents with a place to park boats and RVs.

This popular facility is secured with a coded locked gate and motion detector lighting and provides spaces that are 20, 25, and 30 ft. in length. For more info, call the City’s Parks Division at 646-3860.

Being Prepared for an Emergency
When the next disaster strikes, what will you do, who will you call, where will you go?
Emergency help may be unable to reach you. Telephone services could be disrupted or unavailable. You could be stranded where you are.

You might have to wait until conditions improve in order to get outside help (plan to be self-sufficient for at least three days).

• First-aid kit

• Fire extinguisher
• Toilet paper/personal hygiene items
• Over-the-counter and prescription medications
• Pet food
