The Emergency Operation Plan provides you with information about how local officials will respond in the event of an emergency.

In the event of an emergency that requires the County to evacuate citizens from an impacted to a safe area, there are agreed-upon strategies already in place to ensure the process is handled as smoothly as possible. This plan also takes into account the many people with special needs who might need additional support in an evacuation. Read the Sacramento County Evacuation Plan.
