Evacuation Access Needs Assessment and Preparedness Plan

*The Final Evacuation Access Needs Assessment and Preparedness Plan is available here.

This Effort aims to build resiliency in Calaveras County’s Transportation system from the impacts of catastrophic events and facilitate adequate and sustained access to and from high-risk communities during and after events.

 To accomplish this goal, this plan will combine Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping with community-provided anecdotal data to identify the following:

  • Transportation system bottlenecks/chokepoints
  • Locations where the transportation system is at risk from future disaster events
  • Locations where the transportation network serves critical facilities, such as hospitals and residences with mobility limitations
  • Candidate areas for targeted improvements
  • Provide recommendations for the next steps toward building a more resilient transportation network.
