This November and December, Marin County is expecting periods of unusually high tides and seasonal weather that may bring localized flooding to some areas.
At Vivalon, we’re keeping a close eye on forecasts and working with city and county officials to stay informed and prepared. Our priority is to keep our community safe while continuing to provide the programs and essential services that so many people rely on.
We want our community to know that we’re aware of the potential weather impacts and are planning ahead.
Our leadership team is developing plans to help minimize disruptions should weather conditions affect our services. This may include adjustments to schedules or operations when necessary, always with the safety of our participants, clients, volunteers, instructors, and staff in mind.
We know how important Vivalon’s services are to our community, and we’ll continue sharing updates as we learn more about what to expect in the weeks ahead.
What This Means for Vivalon Programs and Services
Healthy Aging Campus Classes and Activities
We’re reviewing potential impacts to classes, activities, Vivalon Café, and other services at our Healthy Aging Campus and considering adjustments that may help everyone plan ahead and travel safely.
Some of the highest King tides are expected around Thanksgiving. To keep everyone safe, we will close in-person programs and Vivalon Café at our Healthy Aging Campus during Thanksgiving week, Monday, November 23 through Friday, November 27.
Closing our doors for a week doesn’t mean we stop connecting. During the closure, we’ll move as many classes as we can online, and our team will be available to support you by phone and email. Whether you join a class from home or just want to check in, we’re still here for you.
As an earlier precaution, we already moved our annual Thanksgiving luncheon to November 19 so that it falls before the highest tides.
Before the closure, we’ll share the virtual class schedule and instructions for joining online. If you have questions or need help getting set up for virtual classes, please contact our Healthy Aging Campus team at 415-456-9062, ext. 8705, or [email protected].
We will continue to share additional updates, including information about any changes to campus operations, classes, or activities.
Meals on Wheels, Nourish and Medically Tailored Meals
We know that many of our clients count on their home-delivered meals, and we’re planning ahead to help ensure those meals continue reaching the people who need them.
If weather conditions require adjustments to regular delivery schedules or arrangements, our team will communicate directly with affected clients and volunteers to share information and next steps.
Vivalon Rides
Our transportation team is also preparing for potential weather-related impacts to travel throughout Marin and the surrounding areas.
Our goal is to maintain regular transportation services whenever it is safe to do so. If adjustments to routes, schedules, or services become necessary, we will communicate directly with affected clients and drivers to keep them informed.
Stay Informed
While we continue preparing, we encourage everyone to stay informed about local weather and travel conditions and make decisions that prioritize their personal safety.
The following resources can help you stay up to date:
- Sign up for AlertMarin to receive important local emergency notifications.
- Visit Marin County’s Emergency Portal for local updates, preparedness resources, and information about current conditions.
We’ll continue providing updates in the coming weeks, including more specific information for clients and participants as needed.
