Implementation
- Coordinate with Metro Fire, CAL FIRE, the (CalOES), and the City of Sacramento Fire Department to identify strategies to ensure capacity and resilience of escape routes potentially compromised by wildfire, including emergency evacuation and supply transportation routes.
- Improve upon educational outreach regarding emergency supplies, evacuation routes, pet protection, and key terminology (e.g., controlled/prescribed burn, fuel load), and frequently update the Sacramento Ready webpage to include current information.
- Provide input to Metro Fire and CAL FIRE to establish reliable wildfire monitoring systems that provide early warning of high wildfire risk and wildfire occurrence, and include evaluation of the ecological and human impacts of wildfire.
Benefits: Coordinating and improving emergency preparedness systems would improve the efficacy of evacuation procedures, reliability of emergency supplies, and distribution of wildfire risk information. Establishment of wildfire monitoring systems would provide up-to-date data with respect to areas considered at high risk for wildfire breakouts and improve Sacramento County’s ability to prepare and combat wildfire-related impacts.
