How to receive emergency updates from TCEP and other selected accounts
by Scott Ferguson
Set up your Twitter preferences to receive push notifications from TCEP on your mobile device. You'll get real time updates on incidents texted to your phone in seconds. In a fast moving fire emergency, Twitter will be your best place to stay informed because you won't miss any Tweets. Facebook may not display every TCEP post to you (unless you've enabled the Notifications feature).
TopangaCERT is another local social resource you should have on your mobile devices. CERT is more active on reporting traffic issues, although TCEP will often report major traffic problems that affect a broad area.
Keep in mind we are all volunteers, so never rely solely on TCEP for emergency information. We do our best to be there when the bad stuff happens but it's not our full-time gig, sooo...no guarantees expressed or implied, know what I mean? Always have multiple ways to get information to cover your disaster bases. Take the time to prepare a Family Emergency Plan and evacuation plan, and practice your plans when all is quiet.
Be safe!

For over 40 years, the Topanga Town Council (TTC) has proudly served the local interests of the residents, businesses, property owners, environment and wildlife in Topanga Canyon, and looks forward to serving you in now and in the future.
The Town Council acts on your behalf in many ways—from appearing at County hearings on land development and water issues, to serving on local committees for emergency preparedness, safety and environmental causes in our canyon, to developing community communication tools such as OneTopanga.com. The Council is very active assisting our homeless, seniors and youth by supporting various local organizations in their efforts to collectively improve quality of life in our canyon.
The Town Council is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(4) non-profit organization that exists because of resident, landowner and business owner participation. All of our programs were born from community concerns and requests.
