Winter storms: Stay prepared, be vigilant

A record-setting winter storm resulted in unprecedented amounts of snow in the upper elevations of Placer County. Heavy snow and downed trees and utilities have caused extensive road closures, travel complications and damage to infrastructure. Placer County has proclaimed a local emergency due to the ongoing threat from winter storm conditions. Placer County Supervisors Robert Weygandt and Cindy Gustafson have also issued a statement encouraging preparedness and patience as the storm recovery continues. Residents and travelers can view real-time traffic, power outage and other storm-related information on our Ready Placer dashboard. Winter preparation tips can also be found on our Ready Placer winter webpage.
