Emergency Preparedness

Board of Supervisors 2023

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

Q1-23

The Office of Emergency Services (OES) bolstered emergency preparedness County-wide.

Highlights from Q1 (January-March 2023) include: 

  • Led a public outreach campaign and conducted a County-wide test of the CodeRED system (on February 1, 2023) to bolster local enrollments and to purge the system of old data/numbers. 
  • Conducted media interviews, radio spots and online messaging to apprise the public of the annual CodeRED test.
  • Completed implementation of Phase I of the Access and Functional Needs (AFN) Defensible Space Project funded by FEMA, which resulted in defensible space treatment on 64 properties and the pre-qualification of 460 properties for Phase 2.
  • Released a Request for Proposals for a qualified consultant to lead the Evacuation Study, which is funded by a grant secured from CAL FIRE.
  • Held the first 2023 Quarterly Wildfire Stakeholder Meeting, which focused on Fire Adapted Communities.
  • Contracted with Riparian Studios to produce a short film highlighting the accomplishments of Firewise Communities and promoting community land stewardship.
  •  Conducted a local area shelter stakeholder meeting with DSS and Public Health staff that brought together local non-profits around the topic of emergency sheltering. This will bolster relationships and prepare everyone for the coming fire season.
  • Supported the community through two activations of the EOC: the January 2023 Winter Storm was a one-day activation with 42 hours of staff time and the February 2023 Winter Storm was 16 days with 1,179 hours of staff time. These events both resulted in local emergency proclamations and will necessitate multi-year recovery projects.

Next Steps

Q1-23

The Office of Emergency Services (OES) will increase our efforts to ensure emergency preparedness around wildfire as we move into the warmer months.

Plans for Q2 (April-June 2023) include:

  • Bring forward rewrites of two local plans to the Emergency Services Council for approval by the County Board of Supervisors.
  • Continue to grow the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) team and remain focused on wildfire response through the end of fire season.
  • Move forward with a qualified consultant to develop the Evacuation Study.
  • Push out timely and appropriate media and communications to ensure our community has access to key emergency preparedness information.
  • Premiere the Firewise Communities Films produced by Riparian Studios at Sierra Cinemas; this film will run June-August.
  • Increase community wildfire messaging and readiness moving into the start of wildfire season.
