Emergency Preparedness

Board of Supervisors 2022

Lead the community in all hazards planning, preparedness, response, and recovery with a focus on wildfire. Do this by focusing on improving countywide evacuation safety, continuing to strengthen early alert and warning systems; creating more defensible space around properties and roadways, engaging residents in emergency preparedness and fire-safe land stewardship, leading the community in recovery from Federally declared disasters and by mitigating the impact of Public Safety Power Shutoff Events.

Progress Update

Q4-22

Highlights from the past quarter (October - December 2022) include:

  • Office of Emergency Service staff hosted an Alert & Warning symposium that focused on the use of regional alert and warning tools, messaging standardization and best practices. This meeting included representatives from Nevada County, CAL OES, Town of Truckee and Yuba County.
  • OES made continued gains in the implementation of Phase I of the Federal Emergency Management Agency Access and Functional Needs Defensible Space Grant with the beginning of pre-inspections and fuel reduction work on pre-qualified properties.
  • The Nevada County Emergency Operations Center Team conducted a tabletop exercise and full team training event focusing on a fast-moving wildfire and team building.
  • OES continued the application for the Winter Storm Recovery Project while making steady progress with the Jones & River Fire Recovery Projects.
  • The OES Director & Asst Director completed all the required FEMA trainings as required by the Homeland Security Grant & Emergency Management Performance Grant.
  • OES staff organized the Bi-annual Emergency Services Council Meeting where local first responders and non-profits met to discuss the Rices Fire After Action Report, the CAL DART program and to validate the Nevada County Mass Care and Shelter Annex as well as the Evacuation Annex to the Emergency Operations Plan.
  • OES staff and the EOC team participated in an exercise with Public Health and Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital that helped the hospital practice for an evacuation or shelter in place scenario for a fast-moving wildfire.
  • Lastly OES met with PG&E to discuss local vegetation reduction work, senior leadership advocacy and better integration and messaging with the media.

Next Steps

Q4-22

Next quarter (January - March 2023):

  • OES, DSS and Public Health staff are planning a local area shelter stakeholder meeting what will bring together local non-profits around the topic of emergency sheltering. This will bolster relationships and prepare everyone for the coming fires season.
  • OES hopes to bring forward rewrites of two local plans to the Emergency Services Council for approval by the County Board of Supervisors next quarter.
  • The Nevada County Emergency Operations Center will continue to grow its team and remain focused on wildfire response thru the end of fire season.
  • OES will conduct a countywide test of the CodeRED system that hopes to purge the system of old data/numbers and bolster local enrollments in the CodeRED system.
