Emergency Service Station at Fort Ross State Historic Park

Fort Ross State Historic Park and the County of Sonoma are pleased to announce the opening of an emergency service station in the park's parking lot. The station will be open from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm and staffed by County employees.

The station has been set up in response to the severe storm that has impacted Sonoma County. We encourage all those affected by the storm to take advantage of this resource. Services offered to local communities at Fort Ross station include charging cell phones and other devices (within an hour), receiving the Go-Packs (which include a battery pack, water, blanket and snack), and the use of WiFi internet connection (signal permitting). 

Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our community, and we are committed to providing assistance during this difficult time. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to support those affected by the storm.
