California Insider Aprilanne Hurley features Captain Maggie McDonogh in 2010 "Preparedness" TV campaign.

CA Insider and California Living™ shine the “California Community Spotlight”™ on Captain Maggie McDonogh and the Angel Island Tiburon Ferry’s “On Board for Safety” Public Awareness Campaign world premiering on-air and on-demand February 2010!

Our hats are off to Captain Maggie McDonogh and the Angel Island Tiburon Ferry for their incredible dedication to the well being and safety of Californians and in particular – the Marin community by sponsoring this very timely and urgent public message on “preparedness.”

The Angel Island Tiburon Ferry Co.  – the last family owned and operated Ferry company on San Francisco Bay – has been an integral part of the community for over 50 years providing safe, reliable transportation to Angel Island State Park, The Jewel of San Francisco Bay.

Captain Maggie and her crew also conduct Bay Cruises, Sunset and Full Moon Cruises, and private charters providing a plethora of sightseeing opportunities and entertainment venue options to those looking to experience the best San Francisco Bay has to offer.

Emergency Services Experts forecast that with CA 101 being the only main corridor in Marin County, in the event of a disaster it may become difficult to get medical supplies and food in and/or people out of the county in a timely fashion.    Should circumstances necessitate- the Angel Island Tiburon Ferry can serve as a tremendous Emergency Services Resource with the ability to travel to and from San Francisco and other areas to transport medical supplies, food rations, and people to help manage the disaster.

As ad-value components of California Living and Captain Maggie’s public awareness campaign to “Be Prepared” – viewers and web-visitors can access Captain Maggie’s free online Survival Guide and will receive a FREE Companion Ferry Ride with each $5.00 “Captain Maggie Stay-on-Board” Special purchased!

The message of this timely campaign is clear:  California Living and Captain Maggie encourage everyone to “Be Prepared Today!”   Please visit Captain Maggie’s Blog and CA Livings “Be Prepared Community Page ” for more information and great tips and resources to Be Prepared TODAY!  Aprilanne
