Emergency

In Case of Emergency

If you have an emergency:

• Call 911 if you need emergency assistance

• The Tehama County Sheriff's Office usually dispatches the Mineral Volunteer Fire Department for local 911 calls, since Company 20 will arrive more quickly than responders from Paynes Creek, Manton, or Red Bluff (unless they already out on a call). The Sheriff's Office dispatcher will decide if other resources are needed, depending on the nature of the emergency.

Before an emergency:

• Sign Up for Tehama County Sheriff's Emergency Services Notifications

  • Sign up for TEHAMA ALERT emergency alerts,

  • Or fill out the form & mail to the Sheriff’s OES at P.O. Box 729 Red Bluff, CA 96080.

• Have an Evacuation Plan.

• Consider purchasing emergency medical flight insurance:

  • PHI Cares 888-435-9744

  • AirMed Care 800-793-0010

  • Enloe 800-344-1863
