PCARES - Nevada County

Residents can also register by calling 2-1-1 or 1-833-DIAL211 to receive assistance from a Connecting Point call agent.

Opt-in alert and warning is one of several ways that Nevada County alerts residents in the event of disaster. Other mechanisms include:

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs): Notifications to your cellphone based on location. WEAs do not require registration and are issued by local government as part of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System.
Emergency Alert System (EAS): Alerts radio listeners and TV viewers. EAS do not require registration and are issued by local government as part of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System.
Hi-Low Siren: Alerts neighborhoods of an Evacuation Order using a European-style, two-tone siren.
Town of Truckee MOU: An MOU has been established with the Town of Truckee for “alert on behalf,” allowing for redundant capability of cross-jurisdiction alerting.

Finding Your Evacuation Zone and Information

The purpose of Genasys Protect is to provide the community with a public-facing platform to view the status of their zone. Emergency responders update the status of zones to communicate their appropriate level to the public.

Knowing your zone is critical to staying safe during a public safety emergency such as a wildfire, flood, tsunami, hurricane, earthquake, or active shooter incident. Zones will be used in emergency alert notifications to clearly communicate who is impacted by an emergency and what actions should be taken.
