Ahead of a storm that’s forecasted to bring periods of steady rain and potential thunderstorms, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) has strategically prepositioned critical resources in Nevada County to respond to any threats or flooding issues.
The National Weather Service has forecasted widespread rain with strong, gusty winds and the potential for isolated thunderstorms. Flooding is possible in low-lying areas and small streams.
Prepositioned resources include:
Nevada County:
- 6 Local Government Engines
- 5 Local Government Overhead
Cal OES encourages residents to reduce injury risks from falling limbs and trees by staying inside, not driving through flooded roadways and preparing in advance for power outages.
Residents in Nevada County are urged to stay informed and listen to local authorities about actions they should take including evacuation orders or safety recommendations. In burn scar areas, officials recommend preparing for possible sudden debris flows by having a go-bag packed and knowing evacuation routes.
