Napa County staff has been working diligently on enhancing preparedness for future emergencies through the use of
- fire watch cameras to monitor activity across the region
- evacuation tags to help first-responders identify evacuated homes (call the Sheriff’s Office at 707-253-4509 to obtain one)
- new emergency sirens on deputy vehicles, also known as "hi-lo" sirens
- creating evacuation routes for the areas with the most fire danger
