Benefits: Improving Sacramento County’s outreach and educatio​nal programs to be more accessible to non-English-speaking persons, residents living within vulnerable areas, and disadvantaged communities would provide Sacramento County residents with real-time information of climate danger, as well as useful resources regarding steps to protect against human and property damage.

​Status of Implementation

The Sacramento County Office of Emergency Services (SacOES) works with County and city partners to map evacuation zones and routes.  These maps are available on an interactive web page with downloadable .pdf versions in multiple languages.  Included for each evacuation zone are livestock evacuation maps which identify hazard areas along evacuation routes as well as potential livestock staging areas.  SacOES also has a multi-media campaign underway to educate residents about the maps, how to sign up to receive alerts, what the hi-lo siren means, and general disaster preparedness.  

Additionally, Sacramento County is an on-going partner with all the regional fire agencies as the County's Operational Area coordinator for emergency response and as one of many Weather-Ready Nation Ambassadors working with the National Weather Service to improve the nation's readiness, responsiveness, and overall resilience against extreme weather, water, and climate events.
