The Tsunami warning for November 30, 2018 has been canceled for Homer.

Homer's tsunami evacuation route map and how to stay safe in the event of a tsunami information is attached below.

Homer is an awesome place to live, but it is a little wild. We often experience earthquakes and that puts us at risk for landslides and tsunamis.

Tsunamis are rare events, but they can be extremely deadly.  In the past 100 years, 58 of them have claimed more than 260,000 lives, or an average of 4,600 per disaster, surpassing any other natural hazard.

Attached is the City of Homer's 2019-2024 Capital Improvement Plan, or CIP for short.  

The CIP provides information on capital projects identified as priorities for the Homer community.  The projects included in the City of Homer’s CIP were compiled with input from the public, area-wide agencies, and City staff, as well as various advisory commissions serving the City of Homer.

Descriptions of City projects include ways the project will benefit the community, cost and schedule information and a priority designation Level 1 (highest), 2 or 3.

Spoiler alert to anyone looking forward to reading the City’s annual Drinking Water Quality Report which will soon be in your mailboxes!  

Data we collected for 2017 confirms that our rigorous water management and cutting-edge treatment techniques result in top-quality tap water that meets or beats all quality standards set by the federal government.

At their April 7^th awards banquet, the Homer Elks #2127 awarded Lt. Ryan Browning of the Homer Police Department with the Elks' National Enrique Camarena Award.

Homer Elks #2127 is the first lodge in Alaska to award a law enforcement officer with an Elks National Award.  The Enrique Camarena Award was established by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks to recognize and honor law enforcement officers who have made a significant contribution in the field of drug prevention and who personify Agent Camarena’s belief that one person can make a difference.

With a nod to Throw Back Thursday, here is a photo of Sandy Johnson and Greg McCullough in the old dispatch center at Homer Police Department from about 25 years ago.

In times of intense personal crisis and community-wide disasters, the first place people turn for help is with a call to 9-1-1.

It's National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, and we wanted to take a moment to show our appreciation for all that our dispatchers do, 24/7, 365 days a year to protect the citizens of Homer.
