Tehama County Safety, Secondary Access Community Planning and Evacuation Routing Study

Green DOT in partnership with the Tehama County Transportation Commission (TCTC) to create a practical secondary access and routing assessment for emergency evacuations in Tehama County. The resulting Tehama County Safety, Secondary Access Community Planning & Evacuation Routing Study will ultimately provide a comprehensive approach to emergency preparedness and evacuation for Tehama County. This process includes identifying existing issues within the transportation network, such as dead-end streets, pinch points, and limited ingress and egress access. The study will also identify improvements to ensure current and planned transportation infrastructure meets the evacuation needs of the county. Green DOT is currently conducting a hazard risk and vulnerability assessment to identify populations that are particularly vulnerable to emergency events and those with limited mobility. In the process of conducting public outreach, Green DOT is initiating a web-based mapping and hazard mitigation resource center. These deliverables and the draft report will be available to the public to provide information and opportunities for feedback. Additionally, the project team has developed a public survey to collect data and ideas from the residents and visitors of Tehama County concerning evacuation needs and concerns.
