During Q2 OES partnered with the Kiwanis of Nevada County for the May 7^th Children’s Safety Carnival.  This event was well attended by families, non-profits and first responders helping to ensure our community and its children stay safe.

In Q2 OES members attended the multi-day virtual "Preparing Your City for Wildfire" conference. This allowed the OES team to keep up to date on legislation changes, new scientific standards, best practices and emerging technologies around wildfire.

The OES team met monthly with community partners and conducted outreach and planning at the Quarterly Wildfire Stakeholder Meeting, the monthly CAUSSS meeting with the schools, the monthly Coalition of Firewise Communities and Fire Safe Council Meetings.

In Q2 OES also conducted outreach over 6 weekends in this quarter tabling at Earth Day in Nevada City, conducting neighborhood level outreach at Darkhorse, Cascade Shores and Lake Wildwood and OES was at other more formal events like the Home and Garden Show at the Fairgrounds.

Lastly OES partnered with the Fire Safe Council on their annual Wildfire Safety Guide. The team updated content that went out to every newspaper and Lake Wildwood Independent subscriber.

In Q3 OES will still meet the public for wildfire outreach but will be reducing the number of venues as we spend more time on Emergency Operations Center (EOC) response.

OES plans to conduct an Emergency Services Council Meeting where the Mass Care and Shelter Annex will be brought forward for approval. OES also plans to rewrite the Heat Annex, Evac Annex and Alert & Warning Annex in Q3.

In Q3 OES will have the final version of the Ready Set Go Handbook printed off for local distribution and will mail a handbook to every incorporated and unincorporated resident.

The OES team will conduct media interviews, radio spots and online messaging that encourages the public to remain ready for the ongoing fire season.
