Five steps to emergency preparedness (Nevada County OES)

  1. Sign up for Nevada County Alerts (above).
  1. Know Your Zone: look up your evacuation zone. Alerts and evacuation orders are issued by zone.
  1. Pack your go-bag, and a go-bag and kennel for your pets. Pet and livestock owners can also pre-register animals with Sheriff's H.E.A.R.T.
  1. Find Your Five: five trusted allies who will support you during a disaster.
  1. Learn your evacuation options.
Other alerts: Wireless Emergency Alerts reach cellphones by location with no sign-up; during an Evacuation Order officers go door to door and a two-tone Hi-Low siren sounds. The county lists trusted local media at ReadyNevadaCounty.org/Informed.
