ACCERT has been placed on ALERT status due to a Red Flag Warning and PSPS Watch issued in Napa County. This alert takes priority over the ongoing COVID-19 SELECTIVE DEPLOY status.

A Red Flag Warning means that weather conditions are occurring or will occur that can contribute to extreme fire behavior. Any fires that develop have potential to spread rapidly.

A PSPS Watch means PG&E is monitoring the weather and the current forecast indicates power may be turned off for safety in the next 1-2 days.

This level requires no immediate response action by CERT volunteers.

We will not have a mission at this level, but you should have your equipment (PPE) ready.
