Using Translation

The County of San Mateo has added a translation feature developed by Google Translate to assist web visitors in understanding information on this website in a variety of foreign languages. Please be aware that Google Translate, a free third party service which the County does not control, provides automated computer translations that may not give you an exact translation. The County cannot guarantee the accuracy of translations through Google Translate so translations should not be considered exact and only used as a rough guide. Anyone relying on information obtained from Google Translate does so at his or her own risk. The County disclaims and will not accept any liability for damages or losses of any kind caused by the use of the Google Translate feature.

What is the Emergency Services Council?

Supervisor Ray Mueller, Chair

The Emergency Services Council (ESC) is a partnership between San Mateo County and all 20 cities. Since the 1960s, we’ve worked together so that when disaster strikes, everyone is ready to act as one team.

What does the ESC do?

We prepare for emergencies before they happen, respond when they happen, and help our communities recover after they happen. By working together, cities can share resources, coordinate plans, and make sure no community faces a disaster alone.

Why does it matter?

Emergencies don’t stop at city borders—wildfires, floods, and earthquakes affect entire regions. The ESC makes sure all 775,000 residents of San Mateo County are protected by a unified plan, not 21 separate ones.
