Activation Level: Alert (Severe Weather)

In response to Severe Weather Alerts in Napa County

This Activation Level has expired. Visit the main page for a current status

ACCERT’s ALERT status has been extended to midnight tonight as a result of a flood watch issued earlier today.

Heavy rainfall continues to impact the region. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

This level requires no immediate response action by CERT volunteers. This is an advisory that CERT team leaders have been notified of an emergency management activity which may require CERT assistance during an incident. We will not have a mission at this level, but you should have your equipment (PPE) ready, including rain and cold weather clothing.

Severe Weather missions ACCERT may be tasked with include communications, evacuation assistance, traffic control and sand bag deployment.
