Siskiyou County Evacuation Planning

The Siskiyou County Local Transportation Commission (SCLTC) is the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for the County of Siskiyou, which includes the nine incorporated cities of Dorris, Dunsmuir, Etna, Fort Jones, Montague, Mt Shasta, Weed, Tulelake, and Yreka, and numerous tribal entities.

The Siskiyou County Local Transportation Commission (SCLTC) is developing the Siskiyou County Evacuation and Preparedness Plan in partnership with The Resiliency Initiative (TRI).

This project will establish evacuation protocols and procedures for relevant agencies, in conjunction with existing emergency operations. The final product would include a reference document aimed at seamless coordination between the various agencies and communities with respect to transportation and evacuation services. The project will also be used to analyze the risk assessments of existing transportation facilities to determine potential strategies or improvement needs for vulnerable areas and populations.
