Calaveras County is developing an Evacuation and Access Needs Assessment Plan to evaluate the County’s transportation network and identify improvements that enhance public safety during wildfires, severe weather, and other emergencies.
What the Plan Will Do
- Evaluate current evacuation routes and roadway capacity
- Identify bottlenecks, constrained corridors, and high-risk areas
- Assess access to critical facilities and vulnerable populations
- Recommend infrastructure, operational, and policy improvements
- Prioritize projects to improve safety and resilience
- Identify potential funding opportunities
Why This Plan Matters
Calaveras County’s rural geography and wildfire risk make safe evacuation planning essential. This assessment will provide a data-driven roadmap to strengthen emergency response, improve mobility during disasters, and protect lives and property. When complete, the plan will serve as a guide for future infrastructure
investment and coordination with emergency service providers and regional partners.
