Create a Comprehensive Outreach Strategy

Measure Summary

Improving Sacramento County’s outreach and educational programs to be more accessible to non-English speaking persons, residents living within vulnerable areas, and EJ Communities will provide Sacramento County residents with real-time information of climate hazards as well as useful resources regarding steps to protect against human and property damage.

Acti​ons

Action ALL-01-a: Develop robust multilingual education and outreach materials accessible across multiple media forms (e.g., radio, television, social media) to publicize potential real-time information of climate hazards (e.g., flood risk, extreme heat risk). The materials could include how to sign up for Sacramento Alert Emergency Notification System; information regarding emergency supplies, pet protection, electrical safety; where cooling centers are located; and evacuate route maps. Status: In Progress.


Action ALL-01-b: Invest resources and personnel to regularly update the Sacramento Ready webpage to include current information. Status: In Progress.​

​​Status of Im​​​ple​​ment​ation

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.  

Sacramento County maintains the Sacramento Ready website as the landing page for emergency preparedness, alerts, and recovery.
