“Placer County has coordinated with the cities, other local and state agencies and the American Red Cross to be as prepared as possible, most of whom have additional staffing in place,” said Rui Cunha, Manager, Office of Emergency Services. “We have electronic monitoring equipment to watch the creeks in our area, and while we don’t expect problems, it’s always wise to be vigilant.

“We encourage our residents to take personal preparedness steps such as locating flashlights, batteries and battery-operated AM radio, monitoring the storms and using extra care if they must travel.”
