FLOOD Measure 04

FLOOD-04

Coordinate with Federal, State, and Local Agencies to Improve Emergency Evacuation and Supply Transportation Routes

Implementation

Coordinate with the City of Sacramento, CalOES, SAFCA, CA DWR, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in improving emergency evacuation and supply transportation routes during flood events.
Identify locations of limited evacuation and supply transport capacity (e.g., bridges) and explore innovative alternative routes (e.g., American River bike trails, light-rail).

Benefits: Evacuation out of Sacramento County could be restricted by limited bridge crossings. Development of a comprehensive plan and multiple routes for evaluation and supply transport will be necessary to protect Sacramento County residents during flood events.

Timeframe: Near term

Started

The efforts for this measure have started.

Status of Implementation

The Department of Transportation will continue to coordinate with federal, state, and local agencies to prepare for emergency evacuations to plan and provide possible routes to assist with evaluations.

In 2023, the Department of Transportation submitted two grant applications for resiliency planning and construction of transportation improvements in the Rancho Murieta and Wilton areas in response to flooding and wildfire concerns.
