Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
With the number of recent emergencies in the County (fires, floods, power shutoffs, etc.), the Yolo County Commission on Aging and Adult Services (YCCAAS) recognized the urgent need for residents to be prepared for the next emergency. In order to assist with this need, the YCCAAS developed a Disaster Preparedness Subcommittee to learn about the current County practices and resources as well as industry best practices to develop a report on the subject; which was presented to the Board of Supervisors in January 2020. The Board directed staff to return to the Board with an action plan to implement the recommendations. The attached document (Att. A) captures the initial recommendations, the staff response, and the YCCAAS Disaster Preparedness Subcommittee updated recommendations. |
