About Marin Interagency Disaster Coalition

We all worry about how we will serve our clients and the community overall should the Bay Area experience a regional disaster like an earthquake, wildfire, or major flooding. We all know that we need to work together to prepare, respond, and recover from these disasters.  The Marin Interagency Disaster Coalition (MIDC) is the vehicle in Marin County for helping us address these issues. MIDC is focused on coordinating private sector, non-profit, community-based, and government sector organizations serving human and animal needs following a disaster.

MIDC began in 1989 and continues today with a new energy and commitment. Members representing a broad spectrum of agencies and organizations with disaster roles are working together to ensure that we are prepared and can collectively respond to the needs of our communities during and following a disaster.

In the next few months MIDC will focus on increasing its partnerships between agencies and organizations throughout Marin. You will receive additional communications with further information on what MIDC is doing and how you will fit in and be a partner. Our focus is on identifying resources, services, and developing a network that will enable us to collectively respond to the needs of our community during a disaster.

While we continue to see the ever increasing complexities of disasters and their effects on our society, we are encouraged by the role MIDC is playing in helping us all meet the needs of our agencies, our organizations, and our community as a whole.
