1
00:01:52,050 --> 00:01:59,490
Major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire. And so while you're down visiting the U.B. River, consider the fire threat.

2
00:01:59,910 --> 00:02:04,470
Know that on a red flag day especially, a fast moving wildfire can get out of control.

3
00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:13,150
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the canyon and integrates while in Nevada City.

4
00:02:13,490 --> 00:02:19,030
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there. Please don't have barbecues or campfires.

5
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:23,810
Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes and other products like that that could start a fire

6
00:02:24,230 --> 00:02:30,150
So when you're down here pay attention to your surroundings know that while you're down here, you're self-luent may not work

7
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:36,250
We do have call boxes for you to call out if there's a fire should a fire occur in the canyon

8
00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:41,890
You need to be moving quickly away from it and don't wait for us to

9
00:02:42,310 --> 00:02:48,890
Fly over don't wait for an edge of companies if you see it get away from it move up the canyon move out of the way

10
00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:53,090
of it because it's going to be congested at the trail ahead trying to get out.

11
00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:58,030
So have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely and know that evacuations

12
00:02:58,030 --> 00:03:01,930
may take longer on those hot summer days if there's a fire in the river can.

13
00:03:02,370 --> 00:03:04,190
Think about things like evacuation.

14
00:03:04,750 --> 00:03:06,910
How am I going to get out and get from firework to kick off?

15
00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:11,510
Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather and topography, it's important that you

16
00:03:11,510 --> 00:03:14,550
do your part to prevent wildfires in the river can.

17
00:03:22,380 --> 00:03:29,140
The parking lots here at the Uber River are very limited, and obviously we don't have room for tons of people here often.

18
00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:33,120
So people have to park on the side of the highway, and the highway here is an active state highway.

19
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,980
It's a vital artery to people in three different counties.

20
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,460
When we have medical emergencies or any other kind of emergencies in this area, the access is always key.

21
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,060
And it's always very difficult to get in these areas with fire apparatus and equipment.

22
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:49,400
So to have that ability of maneuver and to park and to get to somebody you need quickly is very important.

23
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,300
Financial cost for parking citations is in the hundreds of dollars, especially for these areas.

24
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,820
The county has enhanced some of the fines for specific parking zones in this area, so it is very expensive.

25
00:03:59,540 --> 00:04:01,400
And it goes basically on your vehicle registration.

26
00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:07,880
So if you don't end up paying that parking citation, it's going to end up on you later on when you pay your fees with the MD.

27
00:04:08,740 --> 00:04:16,080
So on the weekends, expect long lines, not a lot of parking, a lot of people, a lot of foot traffic on the roads,

28
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,020
be very cautious when you're driving down towards the river and I think the biggest thing

29
00:04:21,020 --> 00:04:27,420
is just to be patient. I understand that it's going to take time to actually park safely,

30
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:32,460
walk down to the river and enjoy. So patience is something you have to bring.

31
00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:43,720
Election officials work hard to maintain the integrity, security, and privacy of elections in the

32
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,080
Vatican. Every registered voter in the county will receive a vote by mail ballot in the mail.

33
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,820
Have you ever wondered what happens to your ballot when you've sent it in?

34
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:57,440
Return ballots are received at the elections office where their process and count it.

35
00:04:57,660 --> 00:04:59,960
Each voter's ballot envelope has a unique bark.

36
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:10,640
Code that gives you credit for voter. This ensures that each voter can only vote once. Every signed ballot envelope is compared to signatures on file for the voter in our database.

37
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:27,980
If your signature matches, your ballot moves on to the next step. If your signature is challenged, you'll be notified and given instructions on how to correct the issue. The two most common reasons of ballot envelope is challenged are the envelope isn't signed or the signature doesn't match the voter's record.

38
00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:31,360
A challenge ballot will be counted once the problem is corrected.

39
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,700
You can check the status of your ballot at minivatacounty.com-elections.

40
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,100
When voter signatures are verified, ballot envelopes are open and the ballot is removed,

41
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,820
unfolded and prepared for processing through scanners, which total up the votes.

42
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:51,000
Results are tabulated and released after the polls closed on election night.

43
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:56,160
When you vote by mail, you can be assured that your vote counts, and that your ballot

44
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,000
is both secure and private.

45
00:05:58,620 --> 00:05:59,900
If you have any questions,

46
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,380
contact the Nevada County Elections Office

47
00:06:02,380 --> 00:06:03,940
or visit us online.

48
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,060
I'm a veteran at the United States Marine Corps.

49
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,600
It's our problem for five years.

50
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,280
And when I got out, I had my own trials and tribulations

51
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:20,060
like most veterans do in about a year after I got out,

52
00:06:20,060 --> 00:06:21,520
I found myself homeless myself.

53
00:06:22,620 --> 00:06:23,920
I know what it's like to miss a meal.

54
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,060
I know what it's like to have people look down on you.

55
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:28,980
I think that you're less than who you are.

56
00:06:28,980 --> 00:06:35,660
I do have a personal touch with helping people to live on the streets and help help them get into a better environment.

57
00:06:37,140 --> 00:06:43,940
Each homeless person and each person has their own set of circumstances, their complex, their histories or complex, their backgrounds.

58
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,700
There is no one-size-fits-all.

59
00:06:48,930 --> 00:07:00,390
Joining Bill for Zero was about understanding what the data was telling us so that we could best align our systems to take advantage of all this new incoming information to make sure we could shorten the time.

60
00:07:00,390 --> 00:07:03,890
people's fan homeless and to get people off the street quicker.

61
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,530
Being able to know everybody by name,

62
00:07:07,850 --> 00:07:12,210
being able to have eight agencies working together on a weekly basis

63
00:07:12,210 --> 00:07:16,810
to find how the resources that they have can pull together

64
00:07:16,810 --> 00:07:19,750
to positively impact just that one person.

65
00:07:20,070 --> 00:07:20,930
It's a unique approach.

66
00:07:21,530 --> 00:07:23,490
We all know more intimately,

67
00:07:23,910 --> 00:07:25,590
who everyone else is working with.

68
00:07:25,890 --> 00:07:29,270
We know the needs those people have and the barriers they face.

69
00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:33,210
So it's it's a more connected system and it's bearing through

70
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:41,340
you never know

71
00:07:42,540 --> 00:07:45,340
How quickly things can change?

72
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,240
That's what got me

73
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,020
Oh, technically homeless I guess

74
00:07:52,020 --> 00:07:59,880
You know life takes you down different paths and that's the path. I got stuck on it. I didn't ask for it

75
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,520
This is the first time in years. I have cut a feeling of security

76
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,820
My social worker here, and I owe him a lot of gratitude and I thank him very much.

77
00:08:11,940 --> 00:08:19,060
These are good manners, very much aware of what's available and how to make it work.

78
00:08:21,950 --> 00:08:23,150
And that's how I wanted to hear.

79
00:08:29,370 --> 00:08:33,830
We are in the last mile of reaching Functional Zero and Veterans Homelessness.

80
00:08:42,530 --> 00:08:46,730
When you all have a goal and we're all in agreement that at the end of the day,

81
00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:48,450
we're here to move people into housing

82
00:08:48,450 --> 00:08:50,170
and we're here to help our veterans.

83
00:08:50,810 --> 00:08:52,510
You just have to keep your eye on the goal.

84
00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:57,510
My fear had always been that data would start to dehumanize

85
00:08:57,510 --> 00:09:01,050
or move the faces of the people working with the side

86
00:09:01,050 --> 00:09:02,650
so we could look at the numbers.

87
00:09:02,890 --> 00:09:03,930
We have another one.

88
00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:09,710
I couldn't say more that that is further from the truth.

89
00:09:09,930 --> 00:09:12,090
The data has really driven a lot more humanity

90
00:09:12,090 --> 00:09:13,370
in our system as well.

91
00:09:13,750 --> 00:09:17,470
We need people to feel safe and putting somebody in a home,

92
00:09:17,470 --> 00:09:22,210
Getting in the basic needs of life is only going to make their lives better and make your community better.

93
00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:30,430
The more time and equity you build in your community, the stronger your community is going to be and happy you are going to be.

94
00:10:34,390 --> 00:10:48,430
To tell you that the right fit means everything. Especially when it comes to car seats. Always choose one that's the right fit for your child's age and size.

95
00:10:48,450 --> 00:10:50,710
Oh, that does make a difference.

96
00:10:51,590 --> 00:10:55,610
Remember, they're happily ever afters are in your hands.

Did you know the 95% of all wildfires in California are caused by people?

99
00:11:05,890 --> 00:11:08,630
Be fire safe while working or having fun outdoors.

100
00:11:09,030 --> 00:11:11,750
Use power equipment outdoors before 10 a.m.

101
00:11:11,810 --> 00:11:14,830
But never when it's windy or excessively hot outside.

102
00:11:15,570 --> 00:11:18,790
Make sure your campfires are completely out before leaving the area

103
00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:22,630
and keep your vehicle maintained with nothing dragging on the ground.

104
00:11:23,390 --> 00:11:26,590
Remember, one less spark means one less wildfire.

106
00:11:30,610 --> 00:11:35,590
For real homeowners, keeping a well maintained fire safe property not only is the law,

107
00:11:36,070 --> 00:11:40,170
but can also make a big difference in whether or not their homes are vines when a wildfire approaches.

108
00:11:41,190 --> 00:11:46,410
But after trimming trees and removing dead leaves and needles to make way for a hundred feet at a festival's face,

109
00:11:46,770 --> 00:11:51,550
homeowners are often left with a decision of how best to discard of the leftover piles of vegetation.

110
00:11:51,550 --> 00:11:57,330
During dry landscape debris like this, into multer, hollowing it off the property, may be the

111
00:11:57,330 --> 00:12:01,270
safest way to dispose of it, but it's not always the easiest or even possible.

112
00:12:01,950 --> 00:12:06,150
In those cases during certain times of the year and in certain parts of the state, homeowners

113
00:12:06,150 --> 00:12:08,490
may decide to burn the cuttings instead.

114
00:12:08,890 --> 00:12:11,570
Well, burning landscape debris may be an option to residents.

115
00:12:11,810 --> 00:12:13,670
It does come with inherent risks.

116
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:19,110
That's why calfire urges residents that do choose to burn their landscape debris to also

117
00:12:19,110 --> 00:12:24,790
make the choice to burn it safely and legally. During specific weather conditions, when we

118
00:12:24,790 --> 00:12:29,850
have very low humidity and we have strong winds, we will go into burn restrictions or we

119
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:34,810
may even suspend burning. Officials say that the current air quality in the area also plays

120
00:12:34,810 --> 00:12:41,270
a major factor in whether or not burning is allowed. Before burning begins, residents should contact

121
00:12:41,270 --> 00:12:46,570
their local air quality management agency and calfire their local fire station to ensure that

122
00:12:46,570 --> 00:12:51,550
It is a permissive burn day, but even though it may be a permissive burn day, experts warn

123
00:12:51,550 --> 00:12:55,990
it's still important for residents to use good judgment and stay mindful of current weather

124
00:12:55,990 --> 00:12:56,550
conditions.

125
00:12:56,890 --> 00:13:00,450
Just because it's a permissive burn day, there isn't necessarily mean it's safe to burn.

126
00:13:00,890 --> 00:13:05,070
If it's windy and the surrounding vegetation is very dry, it's really best not to burn.

127
00:13:05,310 --> 00:13:09,730
In many areas, homeowners may also be required to get a burn permit from a local fire station

128
00:13:09,730 --> 00:13:10,630
before burning.

129
00:13:11,450 --> 00:13:16,470
After obtaining any necessary permits and ensuring that burning is allowed, the next

130
00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:19,110
step is to safely prepare the pile for burning.

131
00:13:19,730 --> 00:13:23,410
Burn pile should be no larger than four foot by four foot, and you need to make sure

132
00:13:23,410 --> 00:13:27,710
that you have at least a ten foot diameter clearance free of flammable materials surrounding

133
00:13:27,710 --> 00:13:28,470
your pile.

134
00:13:28,790 --> 00:13:33,050
Residents should keep a ready supply of water and a shovel nearby at all times.

135
00:13:33,890 --> 00:13:38,550
Having a responsible adult in attendance of your landscape debris burn at all times is required

136
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:39,310
by law.

137
00:13:39,750 --> 00:13:43,910
In fact, if the fire gets out of your control, you could be held responsible for the

138
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:45,370
of putting out the fire.

139
00:13:46,530 --> 00:13:51,110
Burning dry landscape debris can be a convenient way to dispose of excess yard waste as

140
00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:55,750
part of your defensible space plan, but it can be an extremely dangerous one if not

141
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:56,750
done responsibly.

142
00:13:57,350 --> 00:14:02,810
It's up to you to make sure to take the extra time and attention to always be safe with your

143
00:14:02,810 --> 00:14:04,110
landscape debris burning.

144
00:14:29,460 --> 00:14:34,480
Hi, I'm Sheriff Shannon Moon, and even though it just rained, it's important to remember

145
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,620
we're still in the middle of fire season.

146
00:14:36,620 --> 00:14:48,500
Keeping this in mind, your local police chiefs and I would like to introduce you to a new sound we will be using to notify you in your family of an immediate evacuation order.

147
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,660
This new high-low system will not replace our code red notifications.

148
00:14:54,340 --> 00:14:59,960
It is simply another way in which we can notify you in your family of an emergency in your air.

149
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:37,660
If you hear the sound, it means only one thing. Evacuate immediately. You will only hear the sound during the evacuation order.

150
00:15:37,660 --> 00:15:45,040
If time permits, officers and deputies will be responding to your area and using PA's and going door to door to do evacuations.

151
00:15:45,620 --> 00:15:50,220
But if you hear this sound, you can help them in doing their jobs safely and evacuate the area immediately.

152
00:15:51,380 --> 00:15:55,920
If you miss the announcement or have questions, please do not call 911.

153
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,820
Immediately institute your family's evacuation plan.

154
00:16:01,700 --> 00:16:09,200
contact 2-1-1 if you have questions or go to a trusted media source once you are safely evacuated.

155
00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,340
Remember, 9-1-1 is only for emergencies.

156
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:20,720
The Nevada County Sheriff's Office, Grass Valley Police Department, and Nevada City Police Department have all installed these sirens in their patrol vehicles.

157
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,820
So if you hear this siren, it means one thing and one thing only evacuated and evacuated immediately.

158
00:16:25,820 --> 00:16:31,300
Nevada County is now part of a special pilot program, instituted by

159
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:36,940
Napa County to be better prepared for evacuations, state, regional, and local

160
00:16:36,940 --> 00:16:42,540
officials who made this happen. Now welcome you, our community members, to the

161
00:16:42,540 --> 00:16:50,500
team. Your job, know the sound, and know what it means, evacuate, evacuate.

162
00:16:51,340 --> 00:16:51,900
evacuate.

163
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,440
Evacuate.

164
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,400
So one of the major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire.

165
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,040
And so while you're down visiting the Yuba River, consider the fire threat.

166
00:17:15,500 --> 00:17:20,040
Know that on a red flag day, especially a fast-moving wildfire, can get out of control.

167
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:26,860
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the canyon

168
00:17:26,860 --> 00:17:28,700
and integrates well in Nevada City.

169
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:32,220
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there.

170
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,920
Please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be careful when you're disposing of

171
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,340
cigarettes and other products like that that could start a fire.

172
00:17:40,180 --> 00:17:44,300
So when you're down here pay attention to your surroundings. Know that while you're down here

173
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:49,020
you're self-luent may not work. We do have call boxes for you to call out. If there's a fire,

174
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:56,920
should a fire occur in the canyon? You need to be moving quickly away from it and don't wait for

175
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:03,340
us to fly over going away for energy companies, if you see it, get away from it, move up to

176
00:18:03,340 --> 00:18:07,520
Canyon, move out of the way of it, because it's going to be congested at the trail ahead

177
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,720
trying to get out.

178
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:14,120
So have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely and know that evacuations may take

179
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:17,440
longer on those hot summer days if there is a fire in the river can.

180
00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:19,720
Think about things like evacuation.

181
00:18:20,220 --> 00:18:22,400
How am I going to get out different firework to kick off?

182
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,900
Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather and topography, it's important that

183
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:29,740
you do your part to prevent wildfires in the U.V.

184
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,980
Hello, I'm Jamie and I'm one of the faces of Nevada County Public Health.

185
00:18:40,260 --> 00:18:44,640
I'd like to tell you about one of our health and wellness programs, oral health.

186
00:18:45,460 --> 00:18:50,360
oral health refers to the entire mouth, including tooth decay, gum disease, and more.

187
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:56,160
Why is oral health important because it is related to every working system of the body?

188
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:04,980
Long conditions, cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes can all be traced to bacteria and inflammation from the mouth.

189
00:19:05,540 --> 00:19:10,780
The good news is that good oral health habits can prevent many potential health problems.

190
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:18,740
Brush two times a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, and see your dentist every six months.

191
00:19:19,340 --> 00:19:24,800
Prevention starts early. Children should see the dentist by their first tooth or first birthday.

192
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,320
This will pave the way to better help for your child.

193
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:35,020
For more information, go to www.smilenevaticounty.com.

194
00:19:37,370 --> 00:19:39,330
We're here. We're here.

195
00:19:40,330 --> 00:19:41,110
We're here.

196
00:19:41,530 --> 00:19:43,310
We're here for you Nevada County.

197
00:19:43,950 --> 00:19:47,250
As the library, we've strived to provide the best service

198
00:19:47,250 --> 00:19:49,750
we can during the COVID-19 health crisis.

199
00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:54,470
This includes providing ebooks, audiobooks, movies,

200
00:19:54,470 --> 00:19:59,350
and TV shows online for you to use with your library card.

201
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:08,220
We are offering curbside pickup of library items like books and DVDs, as well as grad beds with crafts and activities for all ages.

202
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:17,040
We also have your favorite programs, like book clubs and story times available online. We are here for you, Nevada County.

203
00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:20,240
Apply for your library card on our website today.

204
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:31,480
The river gives us a challenge. This year, particularly with the spawning dam issues, is that the water is now is unregulated coming down to South Uber River.

205
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:41,820
So we can get fluctuations where you could be in the middle of the river in the morning standing on a rock high and dry and then in the afternoon you can be knee deep in water.

206
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:48,640
And it all depends on how much heat they have that's going to melt the snow that's going to come into the lake's falling and that's going to spill over the dam.

207
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:56,960
Being aware that change can happen and being aware when it's happening to be able to move to higher ground so that you're safe and your family is safe.

208
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,960
So, what you should do if you get caught in the river is to make sure that you stay calm,

209
00:21:02,460 --> 00:21:05,140
make your feet forward down river.

210
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,760
That's the biggest part of staying your feet down river.

211
00:21:08,060 --> 00:21:10,460
And if you have to flow, you go with the flow of the river.

212
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,700
Look out ahead of you, look for any ways to escape,

213
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,980
any access out, any tree branches hanging over,

214
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,980
yell for help and stay calm.

215
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,580
That's the number one thing to stay calm.

216
00:21:21,180 --> 00:21:25,800
But the biggest part is understand that what's important is being safe.

217
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:32,800
The more water is in the river, the more risk there is, the more hazard there is for somebody

218
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,220
that's swimming.

219
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,760
The harder it's going to be to move around, the more easily you can get knocked over,

220
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:41,700
slip the fall into the river, and generally speaking, the colder the water is going to

221
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:42,700
be as well.

222
00:22:01,780 --> 00:22:05,860
Nevada County may be naturally stunning, but when you take a good look at what makes it

223
00:22:05,860 --> 00:22:09,020
so special, it's not a scenery, it's the people.

224
00:22:10,690 --> 00:22:17,850
The employees of Nevada County are great people working together to support the county, our residents, and visitors.

225
00:22:18,550 --> 00:22:24,470
A. The Garcia believes that building a strong community means doing things right from the beginning, because it improves your return on investment.

226
00:22:26,130 --> 00:22:29,650
Given how critical transportation is to every community's quality of life,

227
00:22:30,150 --> 00:22:36,170
the only success today to apply that approach to Nevada County as transportation planner for the Department of Public Works,

228
00:22:36,170 --> 00:22:36,710
At least

229
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:51,640
the Bastion Roberts was the outdoors, and the rush of pushing himself, as the county senior information systems analyst, for our geographic information systems,

230
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,780
who's responsible for advancing mapping technology for the county and the community.

231
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:07,220
So Bastion, along with the rest of our information systems staff, are continually working to provide easy access for residents to all county services and information from trail maps for planning documents.

232
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,300
Nancy Haffey is a management analyst in human resources.

233
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,460
Nancy's expertise is critical of the human resources department, but she provides the necessary

234
00:23:17,460 --> 00:23:21,120
training, guidance, and assistance to better the county's workforce.

235
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:25,220
Her work frustrates the kinds of talent and professionals in necessary keeping a

236
00:23:25,220 --> 00:23:28,200
Vatican on the forefront of delivering superior services.

237
00:23:28,940 --> 00:23:31,640
People listen to Nancy, and not just on the job.

238
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,000
Our county is rich with history and culture that has been mined from a great people for over

239
00:23:40,460 --> 00:23:45,880
People listen to Robin Kennedy too. She takes her role as a deputy probation officer series.

240
00:23:46,420 --> 00:23:52,740
The machine was a community relies on her for protection and her clients rely on her for the support they need to get back on the right path.

241
00:23:53,860 --> 00:23:59,240
Robin knows how important it is for people to pursue personal growth and change and she includes herself in that philosophy.

242
00:24:01,060 --> 00:24:06,540
A collaborative approach by local agencies and community partners is responsible for Nevada County's low crime rate.

243
00:24:10,130 --> 00:24:13,550
Well Lopez helps folks overcome life's most difficult challenges.

244
00:24:14,810 --> 00:24:16,730
As well as helping him on the path to empowerment,

245
00:24:21,220 --> 00:24:23,260
is people like him there at the core of our cabinet.

246
00:24:25,260 --> 00:24:27,640
As a social service as eligibility supervisor,

247
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,100
men want to seize every day potential in people

248
00:24:31,100 --> 00:24:33,440
and the power of helping him.

249
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,820
To the east, the county continues its commitment to health and wellness programs

250
00:24:39,820 --> 00:24:42,420
to strengthen families and promote healthy lifestyle.

251
00:25:06,190 --> 00:25:14,770
Public Senate provides the foundation for our nearly 800 employees. We continue to provide opportunities for lifelong learning to all our business.

252
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:32,300
With so many people behind the scenes of Nevada County, a fundamental motivation goes way beyond the office and it puts preserving our lifestyles.

253
00:25:33,620 --> 00:25:42,080
By Josh Patton's twin boys. Josh is Nevada County's principal civil engineer, and that position brings with it a great deal of responsibility.

254
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,320
Josh has knowledge, experience and commitment in his service to the county's

255
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,160
physical infrastructure and beyond.

256
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:02,200
Player Chapel, environment specialist with environmental health, works closely with local businesses.

257
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,120
The business owners look at Claire.

258
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,700
They don't see an impediment.

259
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,700
They see a part of her helping them on their way to success.

260
00:26:09,060 --> 00:26:11,200
They used to gather, they make businesses stronger.

261
00:26:12,020 --> 00:26:14,220
And really, that's what all of this is about.

262
00:26:15,580 --> 00:26:19,800
Our airport and transit systems play vital roles in the economic and recreational health

263
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:25,260
community. Our founders imagine many roles and responsibilities. Our local government would have to assume

264
00:26:25,260 --> 00:26:27,720
we are committed to meeting change in needs.

265
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,520
The Vatican, he hasn't gotten to where it is by being satisfied

266
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:40,200
which brings us to the same simple truth. We look for the home team because we are the home team.

267
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,240
We are in the Vatican, achieving more.

268
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,820
What people should not bring to the river is alcohol,

269
00:26:59,500 --> 00:27:04,600
a barbecue, anything that has an open flame, any type of glass containers,

270
00:27:05,260 --> 00:27:09,500
that glass container that you're carrying, it very easily shatter on the rocks

271
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:12,780
and it becomes a hazard for not only you but other people at the river.

272
00:27:13,060 --> 00:27:16,580
If you're coming to the river that's wonderful and joyed, it's an incredibly

273
00:27:16,580 --> 00:27:20,960
magical place, but take all of the trash that you brought with you, everything that

274
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,020
you brought, bring that back out with you, odds are you're going to see some

275
00:27:25,020 --> 00:27:28,800
bottles or a pan or something like that take that with you and please

276
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,560
Please, please, pick up after your pets.

277
00:27:31,980 --> 00:27:34,740
In addition to kind of picking a trash

278
00:27:34,740 --> 00:27:36,100
because of aesthetic reasons,

279
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,400
we're also really worried about trash.

280
00:27:38,620 --> 00:27:40,160
You know, the plastics and things like that,

281
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,420
and also the dog waste for the health of the environment.

282
00:27:42,620 --> 00:27:45,260
Because if you don't, it's just gonna end up in the river

283
00:27:45,260 --> 00:27:47,560
and it's bad for human health, it's bad for the health

284
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,840
of the environment as well.

285
00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:14,790

00:29:58,730 --> 00:29:59,790
Where will you build these effects?

313
00:30:47,730 --> 00:30:49,690
A final inspection of your new home

314
00:30:49,690 --> 00:30:53,990
required prior to receiving a certificate of occupancy and move-in. If you have a

315
00:30:53,990 --> 00:30:57,330
septic system, please schedule an environmental health inspector to sign up for your

316
00:30:57,330 --> 00:31:01,570
inspection card prior to your final inspection. When your building inspector verifies

317
00:31:01,570 --> 00:31:05,770
your project is complete, you will sign off the belief final and the certificate of

318
00:31:05,770 --> 00:31:10,850
occupancy section of your inspection card. This will allow you to move-in. Congratulations!

319
00:31:11,370 --> 00:31:15,050
I hope this video on how to apply for a single family home with helpful. For more

320
00:31:15,050 --> 00:31:19,110
in-depth research, please log onto our website at mineavatichoney.com. Thank you for

321
00:31:39,010 --> 00:31:45,390
The parking lot here at the Uber River are very limited and obviously we don't have room for tons of people here

322
00:31:45,390 --> 00:31:49,810
often. So people have to park on the side of the highway and the highway here is an active state highway.

323
00:31:50,230 --> 00:31:55,090
It's a vital artery to people in three different counties. We have medical emergencies or any other kind of emergency

324
00:31:55,090 --> 00:31:59,630
in this area. The access is always key and it's always very difficult to get in these areas with fire

325
00:31:59,630 --> 00:32:04,230
apparatus and equipment. So to have that ability of maneuver and to park and to get to somebody

326
00:32:04,230 --> 00:32:06,150
and need quickly is very important.

327
00:32:06,530 --> 00:32:10,010
Financial cost for parking citations is in the hundreds of dollars, especially for these areas.

328
00:32:10,410 --> 00:32:15,490
The county has enhanced some of the fines for specific parking zones in this area, so it is very expensive.

329
00:32:16,250 --> 00:32:18,090
It goes basically on your vehicle registration.

330
00:32:18,450 --> 00:32:24,710
So if you don't end up paying that parking citation, it's going to end up on you later on when you pay your fees with DMV.

331
00:32:25,370 --> 00:32:32,730
So on the weekends, expect long lines, not a lot of parking, a lot of people, a lot of foot traffic on the roads,

332
00:32:32,730 --> 00:32:37,850
be very cautious when you're driving down towards the river. And I think the biggest thing is

333
00:32:37,850 --> 00:32:44,070
just to be patience to understand that it's going to take time to actually park safely,

334
00:32:44,330 --> 00:32:49,110
walk down to the river and enjoy. So patience is something you have to bring.

335
00:32:54,900 --> 00:32:59,860
Did you know the 95% of all wildfires in California are caused by people?

336
00:33:00,220 --> 00:33:07,060
Be fire safe while working or having fun outdoors. Learn how from calfire at ready for wildfire.org.

337
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,780
But the mist-created human family in their natural habitat

338
00:33:23,780 --> 00:33:26,580
No to their species has the backyard

339
00:33:26,580 --> 00:33:28,180
Do you think I should lighten them?

340
00:33:28,260 --> 00:33:29,280
Yes, yes

341
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,060
Oh dear, someone is about to burn a pile of debris

342
00:33:33,060 --> 00:33:36,240
That's too tall, which can start a wild fire

343
00:33:40,810 --> 00:33:41,670
My head is...

344
00:33:41,670 --> 00:33:42,450
It's not here

345
00:33:42,450 --> 00:33:43,430
It's my keeper

346
00:33:43,430 --> 00:33:44,590
What a legend

347
00:33:45,230 --> 00:33:46,970
Hey, it's not here

348
00:33:46,970 --> 00:33:48,730
Sorry, it's too high

349
00:33:48,730 --> 00:33:49,250
I'm right

350
00:33:49,250 --> 00:33:52,370
Watch, as you clearly am sure, that there's no wind

351
00:33:52,370 --> 00:33:57,250
And how you'll move some of the debris to create a smaller safe-o-bun and part of it.

352
00:33:57,250 --> 00:34:00,990
Oh, you can't make a big deal. You can't make a big deal, baby. The bigger the better.

353
00:34:01,090 --> 00:34:03,410
Take note of our feelings for me, Frontier.

354
00:34:03,690 --> 00:34:04,010
Hold on.

355
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,950
I appreciate it. First one.

356
00:34:10,870 --> 00:34:12,090
Smokey's done it again.

357
00:34:12,810 --> 00:34:13,510
I smokey.

358
00:34:14,910 --> 00:34:17,830
Only you can prevent wildfires.

359
00:34:20,380 --> 00:34:22,860
Hi, I'm Chrissy Anthony with Calfire.

360
00:34:22,860 --> 00:34:28,280
Our beautiful state of California is blessed with abundant recreation opportunities.

361
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,320
This is especially true in the forested areas around our state.

362
00:34:33,140 --> 00:34:38,380
But following years of severe drought in barc beetle infestation are forest or suffering.

363
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:44,940
And these dead trees pose a significant falling hazard and wildfire risk to those recreating

364
00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:45,580
outdoors.

365
00:34:45,580 --> 00:34:54,380
I'd like to provide some safety tips to protect you, your family, and the unique natural resources of the state of California.

366
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:59,760
Be aware of standing dead trees and avoid dense stands of dead trees.

367
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:29,620
Take time to look up around you. Are the leaves or needles on the tree, brown or missing? Do you see numerous dead branches? Is the bark sloughing off or missing entirely? Or do you see signs of rot in the tree? Is the top of the tree dead? Don't ever camp, picnic, or park your car under or near dead or dying trees. Millions of dead trees also significantly increase our risk of wildfire.

368
00:35:29,620 --> 00:35:34,240
95% of all wildfires are caused by human activity.

369
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,500
When it comes to having an open campfire,

370
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:40,080
be sure they're allowed at your location.

371
00:35:41,340 --> 00:35:43,400
And if required, get a permit.

372
00:35:44,180 --> 00:35:45,640
Permits are available online.

373
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,920
While building a campfire, clear flambable vegetation

374
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,540
at least 10 feet from around the ring of the fire.

375
00:35:52,180 --> 00:35:53,780
Make sure that you always have a shovel

376
00:35:53,780 --> 00:35:55,700
and bucket of water nearby

377
00:35:55,700 --> 00:35:58,480
and never leave your campfire unattended.

378
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,660
Before leaving your campfire, make sure that you extinguish it completely.

379
00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:06,860
Use the drown, stir, and feel method.

380
00:36:07,740 --> 00:36:13,000
Drown your campfire with water, stir it with a shovel, and finally, feel to make sure

381
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,940
that there's no heat coming off of your fire.

382
00:36:15,380 --> 00:36:18,600
So remember, all it takes is one spark.

383
00:36:19,340 --> 00:36:23,980
Unattended or improperly extinguish campfires have started many large and damaging fires

384
00:36:23,980 --> 00:36:25,500
throughout the state of California.

385
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:29,940
being outside in nature should be relaxing and enjoyable

386
00:36:29,940 --> 00:36:33,780
and applying these simple safety precautions will help protect yourself,

387
00:36:34,620 --> 00:36:39,000
your family, and may make the difference in preventing the next large wildfire.

388
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,500
For more information, please visit readyforwildfire.org.

389
00:36:52,150 --> 00:36:55,370
So one of the major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire

390
00:36:55,370 --> 00:37:00,010
and so while you're down visiting the Yuba River, consider the fire threat.

391
00:37:00,010 --> 00:37:05,010
Know that on a red flag day, especially a fast-moving wildfire can get out of control.

392
00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:13,670
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the canyon and integrates while in the baddest city.

393
00:37:13,970 --> 00:37:17,090
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there.

394
00:37:17,370 --> 00:37:24,250
Please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes and other products like that that could start a fire.

395
00:37:25,090 --> 00:37:27,530
So when you're down here pay attention to your surroundings.

396
00:37:27,530 --> 00:37:30,450
Know that while you're down here, your cell phone may not work.

397
00:37:30,970 --> 00:37:34,170
We do have call boxes for you to call out if there's a fire.

398
00:37:34,910 --> 00:37:40,690
Should a fire occur in the canyon, you need to be moving quickly away from it

399
00:37:40,690 --> 00:37:43,670
and don't wait for us to fly over.

400
00:37:43,910 --> 00:37:46,810
Don't wait for an injured company if you see it,

401
00:37:46,910 --> 00:37:50,190
get away from it, move up the canyon, move out of the way of it

402
00:37:50,190 --> 00:37:53,650
because it's going to be congested at the trailhead trying to get out.

403
00:37:54,050 --> 00:37:57,010
So have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely

404
00:37:57,010 --> 00:38:02,090
and know that evacuations may take longer on those hot summer days if there's a fire in the river

405
00:38:02,090 --> 00:38:07,370
King. Think about things like evacuation. How am I going to get out if the fire were to kick off?

406
00:38:07,690 --> 00:38:15,010
Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather, and topography, it's important that you do your part to prevent wildfires in the river King.

407
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:25,800
In Nevada County, defense will space is a year-round effort.

408
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:32,840
For a winter storm recovery, to prepare for wildfire season, resilience takes a united community.

409
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:40,880
Create defensible space around your home, property, or business to get first responders a chance to protect what matters most.

410
00:38:42,020 --> 00:38:43,280
We are all in this together.

411
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:50,280
Learn more at ReadyNovatic County.org slash defensible space.

412
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:54,820
The river gives us a challenge.

413
00:38:54,820 --> 00:39:01,700
This year, particularly with the spawning dam issues is that the water is now is unregulated coming down to South Uber River

414
00:39:02,180 --> 00:39:10,320
So we can get fluctuations where you could be in the middle of the river in the morning standing on a rock high and dry and then in the afternoon

415
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:15,560
You can be knee-deep in water and it all depends on how much heat they have that's going to melt the snow

416
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,900
That's going to come into the lake spawning and that's going to spill over the dam

417
00:39:18,900 --> 00:39:24,700
Being aware if that change can happen and being aware when it's happening to be able to move to higher ground

418
00:39:24,700 --> 00:39:27,320
So that you're safe and your family is safe

419
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,770
So what you should do if you get caught in the river is to make sure that you stay calm

420
00:39:32,220 --> 00:39:33,780
Make your feet forward

421
00:39:34,420 --> 00:39:39,160
Down river. That's the biggest part of skin your feet down river and if you have to flow

422
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:45,280
You go with the flow of the river look out ahead of you look for any ways to escape in the access out

423
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,340
any tree branches hanging over,

424
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,120
yellow for help, and stay calm.

425
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,000
That's the number one thing to stay calm.

426
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,880
But the biggest part is understand

427
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,940
that what's important is being safe.

428
00:39:56,900 --> 00:39:59,360
The more water is in the river,

429
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:12,720
The more risk there is, the more hazard there is for somebody that's swimming. The harder it's going to be to move around, the more easily you can get knocked over, slip and fall into the river. And generally speaking, the colder the water is going to be as well.

430
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:37,240
What people should not bring to the river is alcohol. A barbecue, anything that has an open flame. Any type of glass containers, that glass container that you're carrying can very easily shatter on the rocks and becomes a hazard for not only you, but other people at the river.

431
00:40:37,260 --> 00:40:42,160
If you're coming to the river, that's wonderful, enjoy it, it's an incredibly magical place.

432
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:46,100
But take all of the trash that you brought with you, everything that you brought.

433
00:40:46,340 --> 00:40:48,260
Bring that back out with you.

434
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,860
Odds are, you're going to see some bottles or a pan or something like that.

435
00:40:51,860 --> 00:40:53,020
Take that with you.

436
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:56,100
And please, please, pick up after your pets.

437
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,860
In addition to kind of picking up trash because of aesthetic reasons,

438
00:41:01,140 --> 00:41:03,160
we're also really worried about trash.

439
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,120
you know the plastics and things like that and also the dog waste for the health of the environment

440
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,440
because if you don't it's just going to end up in the river and it's bad for human health

441
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,860
and it's bad for the health of the environment as well.

442
00:41:21,750 --> 00:41:27,230
The parking lots here at the Uber River are very limited and obviously we don't have room for tons of

443
00:41:27,230 --> 00:41:31,390
people here often so people have to park on the side of the highway and the highway here is an active

444
00:41:31,390 --> 00:41:35,950
state highway. It's a vital artery to people in three different counties. When we have medically

445
00:41:35,950 --> 00:41:40,070
emergencies or any other kind of emergencies in this area the access is always key and it's always

446
00:41:40,070 --> 00:41:44,210
very difficult to get in these areas with fire apparatus and equipment. So to have that

447
00:41:44,210 --> 00:41:48,390
ability of maneuver into a part and to get to somebody in need quickly is very important.

448
00:41:48,830 --> 00:41:52,310
Financial cost for parking citations is in the hundreds of dollars, especially for these areas.

449
00:41:52,750 --> 00:41:57,810
The county has enhanced some of the finds for specific parking zones in this area. So it is very expensive.

450
00:41:58,490 --> 00:42:02,030
And it goes basically on your vehicle registration. So if you don't end up paying that parking

451
00:42:02,030 --> 00:42:07,090
citation, it's going to end up on you later on when you pay your fees with DMV.

452
00:42:07,090 --> 00:42:15,070
So on the weekends, expect long lines, not a lot of parking, a lot of people, a lot of foot traffic on the roads,

453
00:42:15,270 --> 00:42:21,310
be very cautious when you're driving down towards the river, and I think the biggest thing is just to be patients.

454
00:42:21,630 --> 00:42:28,210
Understand that it's going to take time to actually park, safely walk down to the river and enjoy.

455
00:42:28,570 --> 00:42:31,350
So patience is something you have to bring.

456
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,240
Observe, but domestically did human family in their natural habitat.

457
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:53,880
Note to this, she says, the backyard.

458
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,480
Do you think I feel like it now?

459
00:42:55,720 --> 00:42:56,160
I think so.

460
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:00,460
Oh dear, someone is about to burn a pile of debris.

461
00:43:00,780 --> 00:43:03,340
That's too tall, which can start wildfire.

462
00:43:05,820 --> 00:43:06,060
Wait.

463
00:43:08,370 --> 00:43:08,810
Why me?

464
00:43:09,050 --> 00:43:09,670
It's okay.

465
00:43:09,930 --> 00:43:10,350
It's okay.

466
00:43:10,350 --> 00:43:10,430
It's okay.

467
00:43:11,430 --> 00:43:12,010
What a legend.

468
00:43:12,830 --> 00:43:13,870
Hey, it's nothing.

469
00:43:14,530 --> 00:43:15,910
Sorry, it's too high.

470
00:43:16,410 --> 00:43:16,590
Right.

471
00:43:16,870 --> 00:43:19,770
Watch, as you please, wasn't that there's no wind.

472
00:43:19,770 --> 00:43:24,690
And how do you remove some of the debris to create a smaller safe or button part?

473
00:43:24,690 --> 00:43:28,470
Oh, you see, make it big now, you can't make it big or baby, the bigger the better.

474
00:43:28,570 --> 00:43:31,410
Take note of our fearless furry friend here, humans.

475
00:43:31,870 --> 00:43:33,470
I appreciate it, this one.

476
00:43:38,330 --> 00:43:39,530
Smokey's done it again.

477
00:43:42,450 --> 00:43:45,250
Only you can prevent wildfires.

478
00:43:50,410 --> 00:43:51,650
The river gives us a challenge.

479
00:43:51,650 --> 00:43:58,530
This year, particularly with the spawning dam issues is that the water is now is unregulated coming down to South Uber River

480
00:43:59,030 --> 00:44:07,170
So we can get fluctuations where you could be in the middle of the river in the morning standing on a rock high and dry and then in the afternoon

481
00:44:07,170 --> 00:44:12,470
You can be knee-deep in water and it all depends on how much heat they have this going to melt the snow

482
00:44:12,470 --> 00:44:15,750
That's going to come into the lake spawning and that's going to spill over the dam

483
00:44:15,750 --> 00:44:21,390
Being aware that change can happen and being aware when it's happening to be able to move to higher ground

484
00:44:21,650 --> 00:44:24,050
so that you're safe and your family is safe.

485
00:44:24,530 --> 00:44:26,510
So what you should do if you get caught in the river

486
00:44:26,510 --> 00:44:28,970
is to make sure that you stay calm,

487
00:44:29,470 --> 00:44:32,110
make your feet forward, down river.

488
00:44:32,470 --> 00:44:34,770
That's the biggest part is getting your feet down river.

489
00:44:35,050 --> 00:44:37,390
And if you have to flow, you go with the flow of the river.

490
00:44:37,710 --> 00:44:40,690
Look out ahead of you, look for any ways to escape,

491
00:44:41,030 --> 00:44:44,030
any access out, any tree branches hanging over,

492
00:44:44,290 --> 00:44:45,970
yell for help, and stay calm.

493
00:44:46,030 --> 00:44:47,430
That's the number one thing is stay calm.

494
00:44:48,190 --> 00:44:50,230
But the biggest part is understand that

495
00:44:50,230 --> 00:44:52,830
What's important is being safe.

496
00:44:53,910 --> 00:44:56,250
The more water is in the river,

497
00:44:56,890 --> 00:44:57,990
the more risk there is,

498
00:44:58,110 --> 00:44:59,950
the more hazard there is for somebody to...

499
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:09,760
This morning the harder it's going to be to move around, the more easily you can get knocked over, slip the fall into the river and generally speaking, the colder the water is going to be as well.

500
00:45:16,910 --> 00:45:24,770
So one of the major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire. And so while you're down visiting the Ube River, consider the fire threat.

501
00:45:25,170 --> 00:45:29,710
Know that on a red flag day especially, a fast moving wildfire can get out of control.

502
00:45:29,710 --> 00:45:38,410
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the canyon and integrates well in about a city.

503
00:45:38,730 --> 00:45:41,830
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there.

504
00:45:42,150 --> 00:45:49,490
Please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes and other products like that that could start a fire.

505
00:45:49,850 --> 00:45:55,130
So when you're down here, pay attention to your surroundings. Know that while you're down here, your cell phone may not work.

506
00:45:55,130 --> 00:46:01,450
We do have call boxes for you to call out if there's a fire should a fire occur in the canyon

507
00:46:02,070 --> 00:46:07,650
You need to be moving quickly away from it and don't wait for us to

508
00:46:07,650 --> 00:46:14,970
Fly over don't wait for an edge of companies if you see it get away from it move up the canyon move out of the way of it

509
00:46:14,970 --> 00:46:18,550
Because it's going to be congested at the trailhead trying to get out

510
00:46:18,550 --> 00:46:24,930
So have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely and know that evacuations may take longer on

511
00:46:24,930 --> 00:46:28,850
hot summer days if there's a fire in the riverking. Think about things like

512
00:46:28,850 --> 00:46:32,790
evacuation. How am I going to get out of the firework to kick off? Because of

513
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:36,730
the orientation of the fuels, weather, and topography, it's important that you

514
00:46:36,730 --> 00:46:39,990
do your part to prevent wildfires in the riverking.

515
00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:19,820
Whether you live in our Oak

516
00:48:19,820 --> 00:48:26,860
Woodlands, we're Alpine Morris. If you're a resident of Nevada County, then wildfire

517
00:48:26,860 --> 00:48:30,480
is on your mind, from community planning to

518
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,460
defensible space and Greenway's collection.

519
00:48:41,620 --> 00:48:43,040
We are all in this together.

520
00:48:43,940 --> 00:48:46,240
Learn more about Wildfire Preparedness

521
00:48:46,240 --> 00:48:48,880
at readynavaticcounty.org.

522
00:48:49,540 --> 00:48:51,740
So as a UC Cooperative Extension for a St.

523
00:48:51,740 --> 00:48:54,460
Fire Advisor, my goal is to extend the best available

524
00:48:54,460 --> 00:48:58,800
research to the people who are helping people prepare here

525
00:48:58,800 --> 00:48:59,440
in our region.

526
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:12,660
And so I often work with the agencies and partners throughout town to make sure that they're aware of the latest research that people published and that they can incorporate that into their planning and preparedness.

527
00:49:14,020 --> 00:49:20,540
I know that when we think about fire in California it can be really overwhelming. You can think what can I do? I'm just one person.

528
00:49:21,180 --> 00:49:25,100
But what I can say is you can start at your own home where you live with your family.

529
00:49:25,100 --> 00:49:29,300
And I tell people, there's a lot of things you can do, but there's still going to be a chance

530
00:49:29,300 --> 00:49:30,180
that your home burns.

531
00:49:30,660 --> 00:49:34,560
You can dramatically reduce the chance of your home burning, but it will never be completely

532
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:34,840
safe.

533
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:35,860
Because we live in California.

534
00:49:36,340 --> 00:49:38,960
Fire is here before, as it will be here after us as well.

535
00:49:39,540 --> 00:49:44,380
You can have an evacuation plan so that if there is a fire, you know how to get out and you

536
00:49:44,380 --> 00:49:45,540
have to protect your family.

537
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:50,300
The next step would be to prepare in your home and the lands around it, so making sure that

538
00:49:50,300 --> 00:49:51,640
your home is fire resistant.

539
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:59,620
then working on the defensible space surrounding that and once you kind of have your own personal things tackled you could really start to engage in the broader community.

540
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:06,360
Think about how can I work with my neighborhood, so all of these people can achieve the same goals that I have, and we, together, will be stronger.

541
00:50:06,860 --> 00:50:13,840
In California, we've been hearing about defensible space for quite a long time, because we have a public resource code about it. California, 4291.

542
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:26,420
And when I think about 4291, I know that it was written many years ago, and since then we've had many unfortunate fires, and we've increased our knowledge about what actually improves home survival.

543
00:50:26,420 --> 00:50:43,320
And there's this new zone around a home within five feet of a home actually, where University of California, the National Fire Protection Association, FireWise USA, and the International Institute for Business and Home Safety All are all recommending to have no combustible materials within five feet of a home or low combustibility.

544
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,920
And I know people will say, but Kate, I love my plants.

545
00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:54,560
And I have to tell them, I love plants too. I was a botanist. But I have to think about where

546
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,680
I can put the plants that I love so that my home is safe and so that they're also safe.

547
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:03,740
And so the message we're trying to tell people now is that from zero to five feet of a

548
00:51:03,740 --> 00:51:08,640
house, you have no combustible objects, or maybe low combustibility if you're really good

549
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:13,600
at maintenance. I'm not, but maybe you are. So you could have a well irrigated lawn that you

550
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:19,280
more regularly, or maybe a few annual plants with a rock mulch, and then out from there

551
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:25,280
from 5 feet to 30 feet, it's the lean, clean, and green zone. And in that area, you'll have

552
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:31,500
beautiful plants, but they're going to be spaced really wide apart so that there's no continuous

553
00:51:31,500 --> 00:51:36,660
fuel leading towards your home. And you'll have beautiful hard scraping, I've seen flags,

554
00:51:36,980 --> 00:51:43,380
stones, and decomposed granite, and tilework that you can use to kind of break up all of those fuels

555
00:51:43,380 --> 00:51:47,320
it on your your home. And then from 30 feet to 100 feet out, you will have reduced fuel.

556
00:51:47,980 --> 00:51:53,380
So around my home, that means we have large ponderosa pine trees and cedar trees. But

557
00:51:53,380 --> 00:51:59,540
we've reduced the understory cover, some, and we've really opened up the forest canopy in

558
00:51:59,540 --> 00:52:07,220
that area. So California Public Resource Code 4291, they has two zones, zero to 30 feet,

559
00:52:07,460 --> 00:52:11,820
which is lean, clean and green, and the 30 to 100 feet, which is reduced fuel. We know

560
00:52:11,820 --> 00:52:16,340
many homes burned because of embers because of embers getting into addicts but also because

561
00:52:16,340 --> 00:52:23,460
of embers that land at the base of a house and your your mulch and your woody plants that

562
00:52:23,460 --> 00:52:28,660
are not well maintained and your lawn that wasn't mowed that week and when an ember lands

563
00:52:28,660 --> 00:52:33,620
really close to your house maybe within zero to five feet and you get a small fire that's small

564
00:52:33,620 --> 00:52:40,240
fire can grow and it can catch your house on fire and so the latest research and the latest

565
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:44,600
recommendations at the national level and also for the University of California, is it really

566
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:48,900
focus on this new zero to five foot, no combustible to low combustible zone.

567
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,900
So sometimes, you'll think what's a sensible space, more is better.

568
00:52:53,620 --> 00:52:56,640
But what I can say is that more isn't always better.

569
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,740
If I eat too much chocolate cake, I'm probably going to feel ill.

570
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:05,120
And so, when I think about a sensible space, and in your home, I know that we really need

571
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,120
to have the most intensity right around the home itself.

572
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,800
if you want your home to be fire resistant.

573
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:13,620
You want to have low to no combustibility within five feet

574
00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:17,600
from five to 30 feet have a lean, clean, and green zone,

575
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,240
and then from 30 to 100 feet, you have reduced fuels.

576
00:53:21,340 --> 00:53:24,040
And nowhere in there, except within five feet of a house

577
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,900
and am I talking about bare mineral soil or rocks.

578
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:31,700
Beyond that, you can enjoy the greenery of nature

579
00:53:31,700 --> 00:53:34,140
and flowers and trees.

580
00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:36,780
But you just want to be very careful about their spacing.

581
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,040
I've heard some people say, I'm really afraid of fire.

582
00:53:40,140 --> 00:53:43,220
I'm going to have 500 feet of bare mineral soil.

583
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,560
And I get worried, as I think, that's a lot of work.

584
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,340
But I also know that doesn't necessarily protect them from fire.

585
00:53:50,500 --> 00:53:55,740
It protects them from one aspect of a fire, it protects them from a flame front, moving past

586
00:53:55,740 --> 00:53:58,780
their house, but it doesn't protect them from the embers, it could still catch that house

587
00:53:58,780 --> 00:53:59,300
on fire.

588
00:53:59,580 --> 00:54:05,680
I also know that when we start to have 500 or more feet of defensible space that sometimes

589
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,920
that actually might negatively impact our national resources.

590
00:54:09,420 --> 00:54:12,300
We need to be careful about how we manage our defense space.

591
00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:15,240
Sometimes we live in these beautiful, mixed conifer forests,

592
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,780
like around here in Nevada City, and reducing the fuels in those forests

593
00:54:19,780 --> 00:54:22,760
actually could be a type of restoration that could be good for them.

594
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,140
But at other times, if you live maybe in a shaperel area,

595
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,360
reducing those fuels for more than 100 feet could actually be detrimental

596
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:31,440
to that plant community.

597
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,500
And so we just need to be really mindful of how we use defense

598
00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:38,780
space and knowing that we only really need about a hundred feet. For our

599
00:54:38,780 --> 00:54:42,020
home, unless you live on a very steep slope or if there's very dense

600
00:54:42,020 --> 00:54:45,900
vegetation, you might want to extend it to a 200 feet. So I always like to

601
00:54:45,900 --> 00:54:49,280
think that everyone is an expert in fire physics. It's not just people like

602
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,940
myself who have their doctorates in it because we've all roasted marshmallows

603
00:54:52,940 --> 00:54:57,460
around a campfire. So we all know how firework. So you know that if you take your

604
00:54:57,460 --> 00:54:59,960
marshmallow and you stick it directly into the center of a campfire.

605
00:55:03,220 --> 00:55:29,980
And that's how homes can get caught on fire as well, kind of that direct flame contact. But when I think about what makes the fire resistant home, they often have, I think maybe the top five things that you can do. You can have a roof that's resistant to fire, a deck that's resistant to fire, you can have defensible space. And you can work on your siding and your windows. But so when I think about a roof, you want to make sure that your roof is resistant to fire. And that's having a kind of

606
00:55:29,980 --> 00:55:33,420
Class A roof, and that could be a single roof.

607
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,540
It can be a metal roof or a tile roof.

608
00:55:36,180 --> 00:55:37,780
And a lot of times, people are like, I hear people say,

609
00:55:37,820 --> 00:55:38,920
I have a metal roof.

610
00:55:39,020 --> 00:55:40,320
I'm OK from fire.

611
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,420
And we have to be really careful with those assumptions

612
00:55:43,420 --> 00:55:45,300
because when I think about a fire resistance at home,

613
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:49,420
it's always about the design, the materials, and the maintenance.

614
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,940
And so metal and tile roofs,

615
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,220
they often have these gaps on the edges.

616
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:55,880
These little gaps.

617
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:57,820
You need to plug up with some sort of filler,

618
00:55:57,820 --> 00:56:01,660
which I'm certain the building department can tell you what to use, and I can't.

619
00:56:02,180 --> 00:56:05,940
But what I can say is that little critters love to make nests there, whether there

620
00:56:05,940 --> 00:56:12,200
are a wasp or a bird or a small mammal, like a mouse, it's the perfect size for a nest,

621
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:17,120
which is unfortunate because then you have all these grasses and needles and leaves right

622
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:23,580
on your wooden roof deck, underneath the concrete or underneath the concrete or the tile

623
00:56:23,580 --> 00:56:27,280
or the metal, and that actually is what often catches those types of roofs on fire.

624
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:36,100
One of the other things every home needs is to make sure that they have attic and basement vents that can reduce the number of embers that come into that house.

625
00:56:36,620 --> 00:56:41,280
And that is currently regulated in the California Building Code Chapter 7A.

626
00:56:41,980 --> 00:56:47,280
But if you have an older home, like myself, then it didn't apply when it was built, because that's a newer building code.

627
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:52,540
And so I've gone back into my house. When we first moved in, we couldn't afford fancy new vents.

628
00:56:52,540 --> 00:57:01,140
And so we went to the hardware store and bought one eighth-inch screen, and we stapled that over all of our vents in our attic and our basement.

629
00:57:01,580 --> 00:57:07,100
Once we kind of settled through the moving into a new place, we were able to afford new vents.

630
00:57:07,380 --> 00:57:15,560
And so we went to the California Building Code website, and we looked to see what were the main companies they recommended in the style events.

631
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:22,920
We decided on a event that had an exterior baffling and then a one-eighth inch screen that had

632
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:23,960
into mess in paint.

633
00:57:25,180 --> 00:57:28,260
So, I thought a lot of things, let me try to break that down just a little bit.

634
00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:34,060
So the reason we have attic vents is because they help your attic air circulate so that your

635
00:57:34,060 --> 00:57:39,040
home doesn't rot from the inside out, but in a fire they actually serve two main purposes

636
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:39,820
these vents.

637
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:44,240
The vents all vents in your house can allow embers to go into your house.

638
00:57:45,550 --> 00:57:52,530
And then if your home is close enough to another structure or maybe some plants that catch fire,

639
00:57:52,690 --> 00:57:57,070
then those vents can also be a way that you can have direct flame going into your house.

640
00:57:57,670 --> 00:58:01,270
And so when I thought about what type of event I really wanted on my house.

641
00:58:01,330 --> 00:58:05,370
I wanted a event that reduced the amount of embers that could go in.

642
00:58:05,450 --> 00:58:11,010
That's why we have the exterior baffling because as the air moves up and down and up and down to get through the vent,

643
00:58:11,010 --> 00:58:14,250
those metal slats actually help snuff out those embers.

644
00:58:15,610 --> 00:58:19,130
And then we have the one eighth inch screen, because again that helps reduce the amount

645
00:58:19,130 --> 00:58:20,670
of embers that are going into the attic.

646
00:58:21,310 --> 00:58:23,710
And then that screen has an intemescent paint.

647
00:58:24,670 --> 00:58:30,050
And what intemescent paint is it has a chemical composition that swells when it's exposed to heat.

648
00:58:31,170 --> 00:58:35,630
So if something nearby is on fire, then that intemescent paint will swell shut,

649
00:58:35,830 --> 00:58:39,390
and not allow anything else into the attic or crawl space.

650
00:58:40,110 --> 00:58:44,050
And I think, you know, for most people, we're going to need events that can do all of those things.

651
00:58:44,410 --> 00:58:53,890
Not one or the other. The other thing that I would recommend is to have some plywood cut-outs that you can put over the exterior of your events before you evacuate if you have time.

652
00:58:54,650 --> 00:59:00,070
I know a lot of our evacuations like California are unfortunately becoming much shorter and shorter time frames before we have to leave.

653
00:59:00,190 --> 00:59:05,430
And so you have to be ready to leave without any of that. But if you have the time, it could be nice to put on.

654
00:59:05,430 --> 00:59:11,210
One question I'm often asked is, Kate, I really want vents, but I'm not sure if I can afford them.

655
00:59:11,770 --> 00:59:13,210
Especially if you're on a fixed income.

656
00:59:14,270 --> 00:59:16,930
But we have a resource that USDA rule development.

657
00:59:17,690 --> 00:59:20,870
Loan service actually will give loans out for home improvements.

658
00:59:21,470 --> 00:59:25,110
And home renovations that include making your home resistant to fire.

659
00:59:26,070 --> 00:59:30,830
And so that can be one way, so these types of renovations like vents, closing in,

660
00:59:30,830 --> 00:59:36,490
your softets, updating your deck, can be affordable for people who are here and living on a fixed income.

661
00:59:37,290 --> 00:59:40,870
The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety has a wildfire checklist.

662
00:59:41,290 --> 00:59:45,250
And you can Google that. The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety wildfire checklist.

663
00:59:45,670 --> 00:59:51,390
And it can go through and it tells you every event to look at, every window, every place where you should

664
00:59:51,390 --> 00:59:58,070
have put coffee in, or you need to put coffee in. And it can help walk you through that list of items to do.

665
00:59:58,070 --> 00:59:59,970
It is an extensive list.

666
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:12,920
There are these top five areas that you really need to work on as a resident of fire zone. At the same time, there's areas that are beyond that that we all should be working on still.

667
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:20,780
Because fire is kind of like water. It's probably going to find a way in, so we need to be very careful and have it well maintained homes.

668
01:00:20,780 --> 01:00:27,320
The Roots of Nevada County's assisted outpatient treatment program stem from a tragic shooting

669
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:29,660
that occurred in the county in 2001.

670
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:35,480
An individual with an untreated mental illness entered the county mental health clinic

671
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:39,080
and shot and killed two individuals.

672
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:43,480
Then proceeded to go to a business in Grass Valley.

673
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:45,640
Shot and killed another individual.

674
01:00:46,020 --> 01:00:47,160
Several people were wounded.

675
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:53,660
One of the individuals that was killed was Laura Wilkoss.

676
01:00:55,420 --> 01:01:03,260
Laura's parents took it upon themselves to advocate and work with state legislators

677
01:01:03,260 --> 01:01:10,360
to enact what was known as Laura's law in the state of California.

678
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,560
Laura's law became part of California's welfare and institutions code,

679
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:26,620
Replicating what was done in dozens of other states several years later, California's Mental Health Services Act provided a potential funding source for Nevada County to implement assisted outpatient treatment.

680
01:01:27,340 --> 01:01:44,540
So in May 2008, after about a year and a half of planning efforts, Nevada County became the first county in California and so far to this day, the only county that has fully implemented assisted out there.

681
01:01:44,540 --> 01:01:51,620
The program offers a unique solution that bridges the gap for dangerous people in need of mental health services

682
01:01:51,620 --> 01:01:59,700
who may not be on probation are not gravely disabled or don't meet the criteria for emergency involuntary hospitalization.

683
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:08,340
Assistant outpatient treatment allows a judge to order those individuals to receive outpatient treatment in their community.

684
01:02:08,340 --> 01:02:14,660
They can still live at home, they can still work, they can still go to school, but they're ordered into treatment.

685
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,680
The program is successful because of its collaborative nature.

686
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:20,980
The collaborative courts are amazing.

687
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:29,200
It is a conversation with the judge and the attorneys and the treatment team and the individual.

688
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:38,800
And the personal contact of having flower routine avoids a lot of misunderstanding and allows for the benefits to proceed.

689
01:02:39,260 --> 01:02:44,820
And so when you watch the judge interact with the candidate, the client.

690
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:55,000
You see how there is the ability to really address some of the treatment issues with the client.

691
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:59,240
a collaborative process as it has a much greater impact and a much more effective.

692
01:02:59,780 --> 01:03:21,520
It's serious in that the judge attempts to hold person accountable for that treatment plan they agree to and also hold the provider accountable for saying what they're going to do to assist this person with some of the things that they feel are obstacles for them and their lives.

693
01:03:22,860 --> 01:03:33,420
We are having a conversation and it is very supportive, recovery oriented, environment that

694
01:03:34,620 --> 01:03:36,100
takes place right in the court.

695
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:42,300
Of 25 people referred to the program, only five have the face court orders to undergo treatment

696
01:03:42,300 --> 01:03:47,480
and the rest volunteered to be treated and data show that the program has saved more than

697
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,580
a half million dollars over two and a half years.

698
01:03:50,580 --> 01:03:55,040
The cost savings is related to some of the benefit of the community.

699
01:03:56,140 --> 01:04:00,840
We have those 25 people are spending less time in jail.

700
01:04:01,180 --> 01:04:07,020
That means less time for judges, less time for probation officers, less arrests,

701
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:10,240
that the sheriffs and local police departments have to do.

702
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:15,880
So it frees up law enforcement to pay attention to other areas.

703
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:25,360
Many of these individuals are now living independently rather than either homeless or in a transient lifestyle.

704
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:35,320
Many of these individuals are either full-time employee or part-time employee compared to no employment before they entered into treatment.

705
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:41,960
I believe that our community is safer because these folks are now in treatment versus being

706
01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:45,500
somewhere in the community out of treatment.

707
01:05:01,140 --> 01:05:19,180
And I also love to say the river. 12 years ago, started doing some camps that teach people what we call river literacy, how you can read the water, so you can understand where it's awesome places to play, what the river is doing, but also you can find the really safe spots and you can basically read the water.

708
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:22,240
So, I'd like to give, for you all,

709
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:24,720
set the main gist of what we cover in those pants.

710
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:27,540
The areas that we like, that we'll cover here,

711
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:31,840
right now, are to look, grip, and protect.

712
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:34,800
The first concept of book.

713
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,360
It's, we are so blessed here at the Uba,

714
01:05:37,540 --> 01:05:39,840
we have this incredible water, so you can see the bottom,

715
01:05:39,980 --> 01:05:42,000
you can see all around you, incredible visibility,

716
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:43,660
wonderful with a mask and snorkel.

717
01:05:44,060 --> 01:05:45,740
But it's super important when you're a plane

718
01:05:45,740 --> 01:05:47,780
that you're actually looking for other things too.

719
01:05:47,780 --> 01:05:54,460
But wherever you are, whatever you're going to do, we all have different choices of what we do at the river, it's super important you scout first.

720
01:05:54,800 --> 01:06:02,960
So if you are tempted, you want to know those people who like to jump off rocks, you should be in the water ahead of time with a mask and looking very carefully for any obstructions.

721
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:13,100
If you're like me who loves to go into large folders and these beautiful, beautiful large openings underneath full of fish, then you also want to always look up and make sure that it's totally clear.

722
01:06:13,100 --> 01:06:19,240
We get really, this river is very dynamic, changes a lot and last year we had very high flows on the river

723
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:24,300
that move large rocks and other obstructions that can enter the field in our favorite place spot.

724
01:06:24,700 --> 01:06:30,160
So the best way to live and make sure you can be safe in those spots is looking from downstream up first.

725
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:32,240
That way the current can't fool you into anything.

726
01:06:32,580 --> 01:06:35,060
And you can make sure everything's in the clear.

727
01:06:37,060 --> 01:06:38,740
Point number two, grip.

728
01:06:39,180 --> 01:06:41,720
We're, again, beautiful granite rocks here.

729
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,440
and they're so soft, they're so nurturing, they're really wonderful.

730
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:47,400
Guess what? They're also, of course, slippery.

731
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:49,460
So when hopping from rock to rock,

732
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:51,720
it can be quite easy to slip and lose your footing,

733
01:06:52,180 --> 01:06:55,160
and you might come into a place that actually has a very large hazard

734
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:56,500
or just simply grip yourself.

735
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,300
It's also when we're following a fight,

736
01:06:59,460 --> 01:07:01,460
they've gone before us and the rock is wet.

737
01:07:01,820 --> 01:07:04,280
So when we jump, it's not the same jump that they did.

738
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,000
It's super important, as you're at the river,

739
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,820
if you can move along, use three points of contact.

740
01:07:09,820 --> 01:07:14,100
move yourself along as quickly as you need, but it's incredible how much it serves us for our

741
01:07:14,100 --> 01:07:19,760
stability. Every year, every year, someone falls and gets seriously injured or dies,

742
01:07:20,180 --> 01:07:27,520
simply from sniffing on rocks. And a third concept for attack. So, our bodies, they're bizarrely shaped.

743
01:07:27,620 --> 01:07:32,620
And look at all these things coming out. They're just set to get snagged into things. And some of the places

744
01:07:32,620 --> 01:07:37,540
we're playing or some of the places we might find ourselves have some rocks that have really small openings

745
01:07:37,540 --> 01:07:40,080
and easily get what's called in-strat.

746
01:07:41,420 --> 01:07:43,820
Even at low flow, it's very easy to get in-strat.

747
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:45,880
It's just, it's really quite bizarre.

748
01:07:46,500 --> 01:07:49,560
So what's important for us, if you find yourself in a situation

749
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,780
where you have large-moving water or rocks underneath

750
01:07:52,780 --> 01:07:54,340
where that can have in-stratments.

751
01:07:54,500 --> 01:07:55,340
You can't see them.

752
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,000
It's super important you protect yourself.

753
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:00,960
And what I mean by that is if you went up either,

754
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:02,940
accidentally or intentionally, one of those spots

755
01:08:02,940 --> 01:08:04,940
fall up, get those limbs in.

756
01:08:05,140 --> 01:08:06,640
Don't be shoving those into rocks.

757
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:11,440
Another very important part of protection is protect each other.

758
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,620
Some people are pushing themselves to keep up with others

759
01:08:14,620 --> 01:08:16,700
and doing things that are not fighting their body.

760
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,780
Some people you might see are just doing things that are just plain silly.

761
01:08:19,940 --> 01:08:22,040
They can harm themselves or harm others.

762
01:08:22,480 --> 01:08:25,280
It's super important if you carry forwards or protect each other while with a river.

763
01:08:26,780 --> 01:08:27,040
It's a great.

764
01:08:27,100 --> 01:08:29,080
Thank you all so much for watching this video.

765
01:08:29,460 --> 01:08:30,920
And love and be caring for the U.S.

766
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,640
And just remember these concepts next time you go down to the river

767
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:37,820
a different member to look, grip, and protect, and enjoy yourself.

768
01:08:38,060 --> 01:08:39,920
Have a great time at the river, and be safe.

769
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:41,800
Tricky Healthy Babies is an evident,

770
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,920
saced home visiting program model.

771
01:09:45,260 --> 01:09:50,380
Behemoth Visitor forms a really healthy, long-lasting relationship

772
01:09:50,380 --> 01:09:55,660
with the family, and teach parents how to understand their

773
01:09:55,660 --> 01:09:58,400
maybe at every single stage of development.

774
01:10:01,140 --> 01:10:13,960
I just struggled a lot, being a first-time mom, and Joette was just really there in support. The support is, it's wonderful, and in feeling like you're actually a part of a community and you're not alone.

775
01:10:31,140 --> 01:10:41,520
If it is, by having someone else to talk to, you know, just someone that is caring about what's going on in my life, as well as, you know, the development of my child.

776
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:55,260
Where do I go in the community for diapers if I need them last minute? Where can I go to get some food if my family is struggling? These things I had no idea about. I had nowhere to go. Knowing that there's someone there that you can reach out to is amazing.

777
01:10:56,700 --> 01:11:03,320
When I talk with my colleagues in other areas of the state, one of the things that I am reminded

778
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:09,040
again and again about that is unique about Nevada County is the extent to which we are connected

779
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:10,080
with one another.

780
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:17,260
We have multiple nonprofit agencies and government agencies and we all know one another and

781
01:11:17,260 --> 01:11:18,780
we all work together.

782
01:11:18,780 --> 01:11:24,680
And so, um, foothill and trucky, healthy babies, I know that if I'm looking for a resource

783
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:29,900
that those home visitors know all the resources that are out there and I can pick up the

784
01:11:29,900 --> 01:11:34,240
phone and call them and say, hey, I just got a call from a family and they're looking for

785
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:39,860
XYZ and chances are those home visits will be able to tell me what that is.

786
01:11:39,940 --> 01:11:46,160
I've been doing this for 35 years, so one trend that everybody my age has noticed is when we

787
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,920
we're practicing, we were dealing a lot with medical issues.

788
01:11:50,020 --> 01:11:54,480
We now are dealing with many more mental health issues,

789
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,920
particularly with the stressors on family,

790
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:00,820
in adolescence, depression, anxiety.

791
01:12:01,480 --> 01:12:03,040
I've been reading a lot of research lately

792
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:07,380
that says the number one factor in resilience for kid

793
01:12:07,380 --> 01:12:13,000
and building resilience is having a warm, positive

794
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,560
relationship with a caring adult in their life.

795
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:21,800
Usually, that caring adult is a parent, but the beauty of home visiting is that parents

796
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:26,560
who may not have had that, have an opportunity to build that kind of relationship with

797
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:31,540
their home visitor, and then have the ability to build that kind of relationship with their

798
01:12:31,540 --> 01:12:34,780
child, which will carry forward through the generations.

799
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:40,300
I really think that if you want to change the world, the way to do it is to provide that kind

800
01:12:40,300 --> 01:12:44,360
of intensive home visiting to support to parents who need it.

801
01:12:55,460 --> 01:13:02,420
What people should not bring to the river is alcohol, a barbecue, anything that has an open flame.

802
01:13:03,140 --> 01:13:09,480
Any type of glass containers, that glass container that you're carrying can very easily shatter on the rocks

803
01:13:09,480 --> 01:13:12,740
and it becomes a hazard for not only you but other people at the river.

804
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:17,440
If you're coming to the river that's wonderful and joyed, it's an incredibly magical place,

805
01:13:17,820 --> 01:13:21,380
but take all of the trash that you brought with you, everything that you brought.

806
01:13:21,620 --> 01:13:23,720
Bring that back out with you.

807
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:30,800
odds are you're going to see some bottles or a pan or something like that take that with you and please please please pick up after your pets.

808
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:38,420
In addition to kind of picking a trash because of aesthetic reasons, we're also really worried about trash,

809
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:42,380
you know, the plastics and things like that and also the dog waste for the health of the environment.

810
01:13:42,620 --> 01:13:48,560
Because if you don't, it's just going to end up in the river and it's bad for human health, it's bad to help the environment as well.

811
01:16:08,370 --> 01:16:15,710
Major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire. And so while you're down visiting the Yuba River, consider the fire threat.

812
01:16:16,170 --> 01:16:20,750
Know that on a red flag day especially, a fast moving wildfire can get out of control.

813
01:16:21,510 --> 01:16:29,450
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the canyon and integrates well in Nevada City.

814
01:16:29,710 --> 01:16:37,890
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there. Please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be careful when you're disposing of cigarette

815
01:16:37,890 --> 01:16:40,530
and other products like that that could start a fire.

816
01:16:40,970 --> 01:16:43,350
So when you're down here, pay attention to your surroundings.

817
01:16:43,910 --> 01:16:44,990
Know that while you're down here,

818
01:16:45,010 --> 01:16:46,150
your cell phone may not work.

819
01:16:46,690 --> 01:16:48,890
We do have call boxes for you to call out.

820
01:16:49,090 --> 01:16:52,510
If there's a fire, should a fire occur in the canyon.

821
01:16:53,410 --> 01:16:56,370
You need to be moving quickly away from it,

822
01:16:56,470 --> 01:17:00,210
and don't wait for us to fly over, don't wait for it.

823
01:17:00,210 --> 01:17:02,490
In the engine companies, if you see it,

824
01:17:02,650 --> 01:17:05,890
get away from it, move up the canyon, move out of the way of it,

825
01:17:05,890 --> 01:17:09,530
because it's going to be congested at the trail ahead trying to get out.

826
01:17:09,830 --> 01:17:12,810
So have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely

827
01:17:12,810 --> 01:17:16,870
and know that evacuations may take longer on those hot summer days

828
01:17:16,870 --> 01:17:18,230
if there's a fire in the river can.

829
01:17:18,630 --> 01:17:20,430
Think about things like evacuation.

830
01:17:21,010 --> 01:17:23,130
How am I going to get out and get the fire word to kick off?

831
01:17:23,450 --> 01:17:26,490
Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather, and topography,

832
01:17:26,870 --> 01:17:30,810
it's important that you do your part to prevent wildfires in the river can.

833
01:17:38,830 --> 01:17:41,590
The parking lots here at the Uber River are very limited

834
01:17:41,590 --> 01:17:45,390
And obviously we don't have room for tons of people here often.

835
01:17:45,550 --> 01:17:49,370
So people have to park on the side of the highway and the highway here is an active state highway.

836
01:17:49,630 --> 01:17:52,270
It's a vital artery to people in three different counties.

837
01:17:52,670 --> 01:17:55,270
We have medical emergencies or any other kind of emergencies in this area.

838
01:17:55,410 --> 01:18:00,310
Access is always key and it's always very difficult to get in these areas with fire apparatus and equipment.

839
01:18:00,550 --> 01:18:05,570
So to have that ability of maneuver and to park and to get to somebody you need quickly is very important.

840
01:18:06,050 --> 01:18:09,570
Financial cost for parking citations is in the hundreds of dollars, especially for these areas.

841
01:18:09,570 --> 01:18:14,130
The county has enhanced some of the finds for specific parking zones in this area.

842
01:18:14,250 --> 01:18:17,650
So it is very expensive and it goes basically on your vehicle registration.

843
01:18:18,010 --> 01:18:24,370
So if you don't end up paying that parking citation, it's going to end up on you later on when you pay your fees with DMV.

844
01:18:25,030 --> 01:18:32,330
So on the weekends, expect long lines, not a lot of parking, a lot of people, a lot of foot traffic on the roads,

845
01:18:32,550 --> 01:18:38,530
be very cautious when you're driving down towards the river, and I think the biggest thing is just to be patient.

846
01:18:38,530 --> 01:18:45,470
to understand that it's going to take time to actually park, safely, walk down to the river and enjoy.

847
01:18:45,850 --> 01:18:48,670
So patience is something you have to bring.

848
01:18:54,340 --> 01:19:00,700
Election officials work hard to maintain the integrity, security, and privacy of elections in Nevada County.

849
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:05,300
Every registered voter in the county will receive a vote by mail ballot in the mail.

850
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:09,260
Have you ever wondered what happens to your ballot when you've send it in?

851
01:19:09,260 --> 01:19:13,560
Return ballots are received at the elections office where their process and counted.

852
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:18,100
Each voter's ballot envelope has a unique barcode that gives you credit for voter.

853
01:19:18,620 --> 01:19:21,520
This ensures that each voter can only vote once.

854
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:26,920
Every signed ballot envelope is compared to signatures on file for the voter in our database.

855
01:19:27,340 --> 01:19:30,720
If your signature matches, your ballot moves on to the next step.

856
01:19:31,100 --> 01:19:36,300
If your signature is challenged, you'll be notified and given instructions on how to correct the issue.

857
01:19:36,300 --> 01:19:44,280
The two most common reasons of ballot envelope is challenged are the envelope isn't signed or the signature doesn't max the voter's record.

858
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,500
A challenge ballot will be counted once the problem is corrective.

859
01:19:48,220 --> 01:19:52,840
You can check the status of your ballot at minivatacounty.com slash elections.

860
01:19:53,620 --> 01:19:59,960
When voter signatures are verified, ballot envelopes are open and the ballot is removed, unfolded and prepared for.

861
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:07,300
We're processing through scanners which total up the votes. Results are tabulated and released after the polls closed on election night.

862
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:14,260
When you vote by mail, you can be assured that your vote counts and that your ballot is both secure and private.

863
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:20,140
If you have any questions, contact the Nevada County elections office or visit us online.

864
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:34,800
I'm a veteran in the United States Marine Corps. It's our volunteer for five years and when I got out, I had my own trials and tribulations like most veterans do.

865
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,700
And about a year after I got out, I found myself homeless myself.

866
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:40,100
I know what it's like to miss a meal.

867
01:20:40,380 --> 01:20:43,200
I know what it's like to have people look down on you.

868
01:20:43,440 --> 01:20:45,220
Think it's your lesson who you are.

869
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:49,380
I do have a personal touch with helping people that live on the streets

870
01:20:49,380 --> 01:20:51,780
and help help them get into a better environment.

871
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,980
Each homeless person and each person has their own set of circumstances,

872
01:20:57,180 --> 01:21:00,140
their complex, their histories, or complex, their backgrounds.

873
01:21:00,700 --> 01:21:02,680
There is no one-size-fits-all.

874
01:21:04,380 --> 01:21:10,460
Joining Bill for Zero was about understanding what the data was telling us so that we could

875
01:21:10,460 --> 01:21:15,500
best align our systems to take advantage of all this new incoming information to make sure

876
01:21:15,500 --> 01:21:20,040
we can shorten the time people spend homeless and to get people off the street quicker.

877
01:21:21,700 --> 01:21:27,080
Being able to know everybody by name, being able to have eight agencies working together

878
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:34,240
on a weekly basis to find how the resources that they have can pull together to positively

879
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:39,660
impact just that one person. It's a unique approach. We all know more intimately

880
01:21:39,660 --> 01:21:44,980
who everyone else is working with. We know the needs those people have and the barriers they

881
01:21:44,980 --> 01:21:49,180
face. So it's a more connected system and it's bearing fruit.

882
01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:00,360
You never know how quickly things

883
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:10,140
can change. That's what got me. Oh, technically, homeless, I guess. You know, life takes you down

884
01:22:10,140 --> 01:22:17,540
different paths and that's the path I got stuck on. I didn't ask for it. This is the first time

885
01:22:17,540 --> 01:22:25,540
in years. I have cut a feeling of security. My social worker here and I will have a lot of

886
01:22:25,540 --> 01:22:34,520
gratitude and I thank him very much. His man is very much aware of what's available and how to make

887
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:35,360
it work.

888
01:22:38,150 --> 01:22:39,310
That's how I wanted to hear.

889
01:22:45,700 --> 01:22:48,220
We're in the last mile of reaching functional zero

890
01:22:48,220 --> 01:22:49,600
The end veterans homelessness.

891
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:02,940
When you all have a goal and we're all in agreement that at the end of the day,

892
01:23:03,140 --> 01:23:06,360
we're here to move people into housing and we're here to help our veterans.

893
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:08,620
You just have to keep your eye on the goal.

894
01:23:09,020 --> 01:23:15,660
My fear had always been that data would start to dehumanize or, you know, move the faces of the

895
01:23:15,660 --> 01:23:18,700
people working with to decide so we could look at the numbers.

896
01:23:19,100 --> 01:23:20,100
How's another one?

897
01:23:22,420 --> 01:23:25,860
I couldn't say more that that is further from the truth.

898
01:23:25,860 --> 01:23:29,580
the data has really driven a lot more humanity in our system as well.

899
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:33,700
We need people to feel safe and putting something in a home,

900
01:23:34,060 --> 01:23:37,080
getting in the basic needs of life is only going to make their lives better

901
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:41,940
and make your community better. The more time and equity you build in your community,

902
01:23:42,460 --> 01:23:46,640
the stronger your community is going to be and happy you, you are going to be.

903
01:24:47,740 --> 01:24:54,220
Your fairy godmother, it doesn't take a very godmother to tell you that the right fit means everything.

904
01:24:56,060 --> 01:24:58,460
Especially when it comes to car seats.

905
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:04,620
Always choose one that's the right fit for your child's age and size.

906
01:25:04,620 --> 01:25:06,820
Oh, that does make a difference.

907
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:11,780
Remember, their happily ever-afters are in your hands.

908

909
01:25:17,060 --> 01:25:21,820
Did you know the 95% of all wildfires in California are caused by people?

910
01:25:22,100 --> 01:25:24,700
Be fire safe while working or having fun outdoors.

911
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:29,080
Use power to equipment outdoors before 10 a.m., but never when it's windy,

912
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:34,980
or excessively hot outside. Make sure your campfires are completely out before leaving the area

913
01:25:34,980 --> 01:25:40,020
and keep your vehicle maintained with nothing dragging on the ground. Remember,

914
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:46,040
one less spark means one less wildfire, learn more from calfired, ready for wildfire.org.

915
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:51,660
For real homeowners keeping a well maintained fire safe property not only is the law,

916
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:56,280
but can also make a big difference in whether or not their home survives when a wildfire approaches.

917
01:25:56,840 --> 01:26:01,280
But after trimming trees and removing dead leaves and needles to make way for a hundred-feet

918
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:06,340
eventful space, homeowners are often left with a decision of how best to discard of the

919
01:26:06,340 --> 01:26:07,660
leftover piles of vegetation.

920
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:13,480
Turning dry landscape debris like this into mulch or hauling it off the property may be the

921
01:26:13,480 --> 01:26:17,480
safest way to dispose of it, but it's not always the easiest or even possible.

922
01:26:18,100 --> 01:26:22,340
In those cases during certain times of the year and in certain parts of the state homeowners

923
01:26:22,340 --> 01:26:24,620
may decide to burn the cuttings instead.

924
01:26:24,620 --> 01:26:29,880
Well, burning landscape debris may be an option to residents, it does come with inherent risks.

925
01:26:30,300 --> 01:26:38,060
That's why calfire urges residents that do choose to burn their landscape debris to also make the choice to burn it safely and legally.

926
01:26:38,780 --> 01:26:47,340
During specific weather conditions when we have very low humidity and we have strong winds, we will go into burn restrictions or we may even suspend burning.

927
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:54,060
Officials say that the current air quality in the area also plays a major factor in whether or not burning is allowed.

928
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:59,220
Before burning begins, residents should contact their local air quality management agency

929
01:26:59,220 --> 01:27:04,320
and calfire their local fire station to ensure that it is a permissive burn day.

930
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:08,780
But even though it may be a permissive burn day, experts warn it's still important for

931
01:27:08,780 --> 01:27:12,680
residents to use good judgment and to stay mindful of current weather conditions.

932
01:27:12,960 --> 01:27:16,640
Just because it's a permissive burn day, doesn't necessarily mean it's safe to burn.

933
01:27:17,020 --> 01:27:21,200
If it's windy and the surrounding vegetation is very dry, it's really best not to burn.

934
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:26,820
In many areas, homeowner's may also be required to get a burn permit from a local fire station before burning.

935
01:27:27,620 --> 01:27:35,200
After obtaining any necessary permits and ensuring that burning is allowed, the next step is to safely prepare the pile for burning.

936
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:44,560
Burn pile should be no larger than 4 foot by 4 foot, and you need to make sure that you have at least a 10 foot diameter clearance free of flammable materials surrounding your pile.

937
01:27:44,900 --> 01:27:49,140
Residents should keep a ready supply of water and a shovel nearby at all times.

938
01:27:49,140 --> 01:27:55,520
Having a responsible adult in attendance of your landscape debris burn at all times is required by law.

939
01:27:55,920 --> 01:28:01,480
In fact, if the fire gets out of your control, you could be held responsible for the cost of putting out the fire.

940
01:28:02,700 --> 01:28:08,960
Burning dry landscape debris can be a convenient way to dispose of excess yard waste as part of your defensible space plan.

941
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,940
But it can be an extremely dangerous one if not done responsibly.

942
01:28:12,940 --> 01:28:20,280
It's up to you to make sure to take the extra time and attention to always be saved with your landscape debris burning.

943
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:47,540
Hi, I'm Sheriff Shannon Moon.

944
01:28:47,900 --> 01:28:52,840
And even though it just rained, it's important to remember we're still in the middle of fire season.

945
01:28:53,640 --> 01:29:04,680
Keeping this in mind, your local police chiefs and I would like to introduce you to a new sound we will be using to notify you in your family of an immediate evacuation order.

946
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:09,780
This new high-low system will not replace our code red notifications.

947
01:29:10,480 --> 01:29:16,540
It is simply another way in which we can notify you and your family of an emergency in your area.

948
01:29:23,590 --> 01:29:27,630
Situation awareness means using all of your senses during an emergency.

949
01:29:34,470 --> 01:29:35,730
Eyes nose in the ears.

950
01:29:36,910 --> 01:29:40,190
The high-low siren is a new sound to help you stay safe in an emergency.

951
01:29:40,190 --> 01:29:46,570
It is specifically designed to alert you to an immediate evacuation order.

952
01:29:47,550 --> 01:29:50,910
If you hear the sound, it means only one thing evacuate immediately.

953
01:29:51,370 --> 01:29:53,790
You will only hear the sound during the evacuation order.

954
01:29:54,270 --> 01:29:59,970
If time permits, officers and deputies will be responding to your area and using PA's and going door to door.

955
01:30:25,340 --> 01:30:29,480
Remember, 9-1-1 is only for emergencies.

956
01:30:29,480 --> 01:30:34,200
The Nevada County Sheriff's Office, Grass Valley Police Department, and Nevada City Police

957
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:36,840
Department have all installed these sirens in their patrol vehicles.

958
01:30:37,380 --> 01:30:41,420
So if you hear this siren, it means one thing and one thing only evacuated and evacuated

959
01:30:41,420 --> 01:30:41,960
immediately.

960
01:30:42,780 --> 01:30:48,960
Nevada County is now part of a special pilot program, instituted by Napa County to be better

961
01:30:48,960 --> 01:30:55,180
prepared for evacuations, state, regional, and local officials who made this happen.

962
01:30:55,180 --> 01:30:59,380
Now welcome you, our community members, to the team.

963
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:03,560
Your job, know the sound, and know what it means.

964
01:31:04,420 --> 01:31:04,840
Evacuate.

965
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:07,040
Evacuate.

966
01:31:10,060 --> 01:31:10,580
Evacuate.

967
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:26,620
So one of the major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire.

968
01:31:27,180 --> 01:31:31,220
And so while you're down visiting the Yuba River, consider the fire threat.

969
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:36,160
Know that on a red flag day, especially, a fast moving wildfire can get out of control.

970
01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:42,780
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the

971
01:31:42,780 --> 01:31:44,920
canyon and integrates while in the baddest city.

972
01:31:45,220 --> 01:31:48,340
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there.

973
01:31:48,500 --> 01:31:50,720
Please don't have barbecues or campfires.

974
01:31:51,020 --> 01:31:54,860
Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes and other products like that that could

975
01:31:54,860 --> 01:31:55,960
start a fire.

976
01:31:56,300 --> 01:31:58,800
So when you're down here, pay attention to your surroundings.

977
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:01,600
Know that while you're down here, your cell phone may not work.

978
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:04,280
We do have call boxes for you to call out.

979
01:32:04,280 --> 01:32:08,020
If there's a fire, should a fire occur in the canyon,

980
01:32:08,960 --> 01:32:11,820
you need to be moving quickly away from it

981
01:32:11,820 --> 01:32:14,920
and don't wait for us to fly over.

982
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:16,420
Don't wait for energy companies.

983
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:19,840
If you see it, get away from it, move up the canyon,

984
01:32:19,900 --> 01:32:21,440
move out of the way of it,

985
01:32:21,620 --> 01:32:23,020
because it's going to be congested

986
01:32:23,020 --> 01:32:24,740
at the trail ahead trying to get out.

987
01:32:25,260 --> 01:32:28,260
So have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely

988
01:32:28,260 --> 01:32:30,720
and know that evacuations may take longer

989
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,660
on those hot summer days if there's a fire in the river cave.

990
01:32:33,660 --> 01:32:38,620
Think about things like evacuation, how am I going to get out different firework to kick off?

991
01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:44,060
Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather, and topography, it's important that you do your part

992
01:32:44,060 --> 01:32:46,360
to prevent wildfires in the Evernoteer.

993
01:32:51,810 --> 01:32:56,130
Hello, I'm Jamie and I'm one of the faces of Nevada County Public Health.

994
01:32:56,510 --> 01:33:00,830
I'd like to tell you about one of our health and wellness programs, oral health.

995
01:33:00,830 --> 01:33:06,490
oral health refers to the entire mouth, including tooth decay, gum disease, and more.

996
01:33:06,970 --> 01:33:12,330
Why is oral health important because it is related to every working system of the body?

997
01:33:12,910 --> 01:33:21,150
Long conditions, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes can all be traced to bacteria and inflammation from the mouth.

998
01:33:21,670 --> 01:33:26,870
The good news is that good oral health habits can prevent many potential health problems.

999
01:33:26,870 --> 01:33:34,870
Brush two times a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, and see your dentist every six months.

1000
01:33:35,470 --> 01:33:40,970
Prevention starts early. Children should see the dentist by their first tooth or first birthday.

1001
01:33:41,430 --> 01:33:44,450
This will pave the way to better help for your child.

1002
01:33:45,110 --> 01:33:51,310
For more information, go to www.smilenevaticcounty.com.

1003
01:33:53,420 --> 01:33:55,420
We're here. We're here.

1004
01:33:56,340 --> 01:33:57,260
We're here.

1005
01:33:57,260 --> 01:33:59,440
We're here for you, Nevada County.

1006
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:03,400
As the library, we've strived to provide the best service

1007
01:34:03,400 --> 01:34:05,860
we can during the COVID-19 health crisis.

1008
01:34:06,680 --> 01:34:10,640
This includes providing ebooks, audiobooks, movies,

1009
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:15,660
and TV shows online for you to use with your library card.

1010
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:20,260
We're offering curbside pickup of library items like books and DVDs,

1011
01:34:21,020 --> 01:34:24,380
as well as grab bags with crafts and activities for all ages.

1012
01:34:24,380 --> 01:34:30,940
We also have your favorite programs, like book clubs and story times available online.

1013
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:33,520
We are here for you to vent a crafty.

1014
01:34:33,860 --> 01:34:36,480
Apply for your library card on our website today.

1015
01:34:39,480 --> 01:34:40,700
The river gives us a challenge.

1016
01:34:41,260 --> 01:34:44,220
This year, particularly with the Spolving Dam Issues,

1017
01:34:44,440 --> 01:34:47,540
is that the water is now is unregulated coming down to South Uber River.

1018
01:34:48,300 --> 01:34:53,140
So we can get fluctuations where you could be in the middle of the river in the morning,

1019
01:34:53,140 --> 01:34:59,940
Standing on a rock high and dry and then in the afternoon you can be need deep in water and it all depends on how much heat they

1020
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:13,040
We have this going to melt the snow that's going to come into the league's following and that's going to spill over the dam. Being aware that change can happen and being aware when it's happening to be able to move to higher ground so that you're safe and your family is safe.

1021
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:26,520
So what you should do if you get caught in the river is to make sure that you stay calm, make your feet forward, down river. That's the biggest part is getting your feet down river and if you have to flow, you go with the flow of the river.

1022
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:29,740
Look out ahead of you, look for any ways to escape,

1023
01:35:30,100 --> 01:35:33,040
any access out, any tree branches hanging over,

1024
01:35:33,380 --> 01:35:36,940
yell for help, and stay calm. That's the number one thing to stay calm.

1025
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:41,820
But the biggest part is understand that what's important is being safe.

1026
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:48,860
The more water is in the river, the more risk there is, the more hazard there is for somebody

1027
01:35:48,860 --> 01:35:53,800
that's swimming. The harder it's going to be to move around, the more easily you can get knocked over,

1028
01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:58,360
slip the fall into the river and generally speaking the colder the water is going to be as well.

1029
01:36:18,020 --> 01:36:22,600
Nevada County may be naturally stunning but we'll take a good look at what makes it so special.

1030
01:36:23,180 --> 01:36:25,260
It's not a scenery. It's for people.

1031
01:36:27,670 --> 01:36:30,010
The employees of Nevada County are great people

1032
01:36:30,010 --> 01:36:33,910
working together to support the County, our residents, and visitors.

1033
01:36:34,630 --> 01:36:38,530
In the Garcia believes that building a strong community means doing things right from the beginning

1034
01:36:38,530 --> 01:36:40,650
because it improves your turn on investment.

1035
01:36:41,750 --> 01:36:46,410
Given how critical transportation is to every community's quality of life, the only

1036
01:36:46,410 --> 01:36:50,630
success today would to apply that approach to Nevada County as transportation planner

1037
01:36:50,630 --> 01:36:52,190
for the Department of Public Works,

1038
01:36:59,270 --> 01:37:01,650
at least Sebastian Roberts was the outdoors, and the

1039
01:37:01,650 --> 01:37:06,470
rush of pushing himself as a county senior information systems analyst for our geographic

1040
01:37:06,470 --> 01:37:11,370
information systems, these responsible for advancing mapping technology for the county and

1041
01:37:11,370 --> 01:37:11,870
the community.

1042
01:37:12,130 --> 01:37:16,450
Sebastian, along with the rest of our information systems staff, are continually working

1043
01:37:16,450 --> 01:37:22,430
provide easy access for residents to all county services and information from trail maps to

1044
01:37:22,430 --> 01:37:23,450
planning documents.

1045
01:37:25,630 --> 01:37:29,930
Nancy Haffley is a management analyst in human resources. Nancy's expertise

1046
01:37:29,930 --> 01:37:34,750
is critical to the human resources department, but she provides the necessary training, guidance,

1047
01:37:35,010 --> 01:37:40,030
and assistance to better the county's workforce. Her work frustrates the kinds of talent and professionals

1048
01:37:40,030 --> 01:37:45,450
in the necessary to keep Nevada County on the forefront of delivering superior services. People listen

1049
01:37:45,450 --> 01:37:47,870
and not just on the job.

1050
01:37:50,260 --> 01:37:52,000
Our families rich with history and culture

1051
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,640
that has been mined from a great people for over a century.

1052
01:37:56,940 --> 01:37:58,700
People listen to Robin Kennedy too.

1053
01:37:59,240 --> 01:38:01,960
She takes her role as a defy probation officer seriously,

1054
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:05,000
because she knows the community relies on her for protection.

1055
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:08,820
And her clients rely on her for the support they need to get back on the right path.

1056
01:38:09,900 --> 01:38:12,780
Robin knows how important it is for people to pursue personal growth

1057
01:38:12,780 --> 01:38:15,240
and change, and she includes herself in that philosophy.

1058
01:38:16,580 --> 01:38:21,240
The collaborative approach by local agencies and community partners is responsible for Nevada

1059
01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:22,680
County's low crime rate,

1060
01:38:26,410 --> 01:38:28,950
and low Lopez helps folks overcome life's most difficult

1061
01:38:28,950 --> 01:38:29,590
challenges.

1062
01:38:30,870 --> 01:38:32,830
As well as helping him on the path to empowerment,

1063
01:38:37,260 --> 01:38:38,960
his people like him there at the core of

1064
01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:39,420
our county.

1065
01:38:41,380 --> 01:38:47,160
As a social service as eligibility supervisor, Manuel sees every day, potential in people,

1066
01:38:47,820 --> 01:38:49,620
and the power of the helping hand,

1067
01:38:53,260 --> 01:38:55,480
the county continues its commitment to health and wellness

1068
01:38:55,480 --> 01:38:58,780
programs, the strength and families, and promote healthy lifestyles,

1069
01:39:22,730 --> 01:39:23,450
and it provides the

1070
01:39:23,450 --> 01:39:29,430
foundation for our nearly 800 employees, and we continue to provide opportunities for lifelong

1071
01:39:29,430 --> 01:39:30,630
learning to all artists.

1072
01:39:41,260 --> 01:39:44,460
With so many people behind the scenes of Nevada County, a fundamental

1073
01:39:44,460 --> 01:39:48,280
motivation is going to be waiting on the office when it comes to preserving our lifestyles.

1074
01:39:49,700 --> 01:39:51,280
But Josh Patton is to invoice.

1075
01:39:53,340 --> 01:39:56,520
Josh is Nevada County's principal civil engineer in that position

1076
01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:58,060
We've got a great deal of responsibility.

1077
01:39:59,740 --> 01:39:59,940
Josh.

1078
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:05,140
It has knowledge, experience, and commitment in his service to the county's physical infrastructure, and beyond.

1079
01:40:13,590 --> 01:40:18,310
Player chapel, environmental specialists who are providing mental health, works closely with local businesses.

1080
01:40:18,930 --> 01:40:24,750
When business owners look at Claire, they don't see an impediment. They see a partner helping them on their way to success.

1081
01:40:25,150 --> 01:40:27,290
They used to gather, they make businesses stronger.

1082
01:40:28,170 --> 01:40:30,270
And really, that's what all of this is about.

1083
01:40:31,670 --> 01:40:36,490
Our airport and transit systems play vital roles in the economic and recreational health of the community.

1084
01:40:36,490 --> 01:40:39,130
Our founders imagine many roads and responsibilities.

1085
01:40:39,130 --> 01:40:43,910
Our local government would have to assume we are committed to meeting change in needs.

1086
01:40:47,260 --> 01:40:52,720
The Vatican, he hasn't gotten to where it is by being satisfied, which brings us to the same simple trip.

1087
01:40:53,240 --> 01:41:00,320
We look for the home team, because we are the home team, we are Nevada County, achieving more.

1088
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:18,460
What people should not bring to the river is alcohol, a barbecue, anything that has an open flame,

1089
01:41:18,460 --> 01:41:20,780
Any type of glass containers,

1090
01:41:21,140 --> 01:41:23,440
bag glass containers that you're carrying,

1091
01:41:23,860 --> 01:41:25,580
can very easily shatter on the rocks

1092
01:41:25,580 --> 01:41:27,660
and it becomes a hazard for not only you,

1093
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:28,860
but other people at the river.

1094
01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:29,980
If you're coming to the river,

1095
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:31,940
that's wonderful and joyed,

1096
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:33,520
it's an incredibly magical place,

1097
01:41:33,900 --> 01:41:36,420
but take all of the trash that you brought with you,

1098
01:41:36,420 --> 01:41:39,500
everything that you brought, bring that back out with you.

1099
01:41:39,860 --> 01:41:42,440
Odds are gonna see some bottles or a pan,

1100
01:41:42,540 --> 01:41:44,480
or something like that, take that with you,

1101
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:47,300
and please please pick up after your pets.

1102
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:53,480
In addition to kind of picking a trash because of aesthetic reasons, we're also really

1103
01:41:53,480 --> 01:41:54,500
worried about trash.

1104
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:57,900
You know, the plastics and things like that and also the dog waste for the health of

1105
01:41:57,900 --> 01:41:58,500
the environment.

1106
01:41:58,740 --> 01:42:02,500
Because if you don't, it's just going to end up in the river and it's bad for human

1107
01:42:02,500 --> 01:42:02,840
health.

1108
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:04,960

01:48:15,660 --> 01:48:17,780

1199
01:48:37,240 --> 01:48:37,780
Thank you for watching.

1200
01:48:57,420 --> 01:49:11,040
The parking lots here at the Uber River are very limited, and obviously we don't have room for tons of people here are often, so people have to park on the side of the highway, and the highway here is an active state highway, it's a vital artery to people in three different counties.

1201
01:49:11,480 --> 01:49:24,520
We have medical emergencies or any other kind of emergencies in this area. Access is always key, and it's always very difficult to get in these areas with fire apparatus and equipment, so to have that ability of maneuver and to park and to get to somebody you need quickly is very important.

1202
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:28,340
Financial cost for parking citations is in the hundreds of dollars, especially for these areas.

1203
01:49:28,780 --> 01:49:32,920
The county has enhanced some of the fines for specific parking zones in this area.

1204
01:49:33,020 --> 01:49:36,420
So it is very expensive, and it goes basically on your vehicle registration.

1205
01:49:36,820 --> 01:49:43,040
So if you don't end up paying that parking citation, it's gonna end up on you later on when you pay your fees with the MVP.

1206
01:49:43,800 --> 01:49:51,100
So on the weekends, expect long lines, not a lot of parking, a lot of people, a lot of foot traffic on the roads,

1207
01:49:51,100 --> 01:49:56,260
be very cautious when you're driving down towards the river. And I think the biggest thing is

1208
01:49:56,260 --> 01:49:59,960
just to be patient. It's understand that it's going to take time.

1209
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:07,500
Time to actually park safely, walk down to the river and enjoy. So patience is something you have to bring.

1210
01:50:48,590 --> 01:50:54,350
Oh dear, someone is about to burn one of the brain, that's too tall, which can start a wild fire.

1211
01:50:59,430 --> 01:51:03,010
My head is, it's not you. It's smoky bad. What a legend.

1212
01:51:03,930 --> 01:51:06,890
Hey, it's smoky. Sorry, it's too high.

1213
01:51:07,770 --> 01:51:10,710
But watch, as he is too plain sure, isn't that there's no wind.

1214
01:51:11,190 --> 01:51:15,610
And how he will move some of the debris to create a smaller, safer burn fire.

1215
01:51:15,610 --> 01:51:19,370
Oh, you can make it, but now you can't make it be in the baby, the bigger the better.

1216
01:51:19,490 --> 01:51:22,390
Take the note of our fearless furry friend to your bones.

1217
01:51:22,390 --> 01:51:24,750
I appreciate it, first of all.

1218
01:51:29,030 --> 01:51:30,590
Smokey's done it again.

1219
01:51:32,970 --> 01:51:36,250
Only you can prevent wildfires.

1220
01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:41,260
Hi, I'm Chris Anthony with Cal Fire.

1221
01:51:42,180 --> 01:51:46,680
Our beautiful state of California is blessed with abundant recreation opportunities.

1222
01:51:47,240 --> 01:51:50,740
This is especially true in the forested areas around our state.

1223
01:51:50,740 --> 01:51:56,800
But following years of severe drought in bark beetle infestation are forests or suffering,

1224
01:51:57,260 --> 01:52:02,740
and these dead trees pose a significant falling hazard and wildfire risk to those

1225
01:52:02,740 --> 01:52:04,040
recreating outdoors.

1226
01:52:04,300 --> 01:52:10,760
I'd like to provide some safety tips to protect you, your family, and the unique natural

1227
01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:12,840
resources of the state of California.

1228
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:18,260
Be aware of standing dead trees and avoid dense stands of dead trees.

1229
01:52:18,260 --> 01:52:20,960
Take time to look up around you.

1230
01:52:22,020 --> 01:52:25,260
Are the leaves or needles on the tree, brown or missing?

1231
01:52:25,880 --> 01:52:27,560
Do you see numerous dead branches?

1232
01:52:28,220 --> 01:52:31,140
Is the bark sloughing off or missing entirely?

1233
01:52:32,080 --> 01:52:34,240
Or do you see signs of rot in the tree?

1234
01:52:34,580 --> 01:52:35,880
Is the top of the tree dead?

1235
01:52:36,640 --> 01:52:42,720
Don't ever camp, picnic, or park your car under or near dead or dying trees.

1236
01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:46,260
Millions of dead trees, also significantly increase

1237
01:52:46,260 --> 01:52:52,620
are risk of wildfire, 95% of all wildfires are caused by human activity.

1238
01:52:53,540 --> 01:52:58,480
When it comes to having an open campfire, be sure they're allowed at your location.

1239
01:52:59,740 --> 01:53:01,800
And if required, get a permit.

1240
01:53:02,580 --> 01:53:07,600
Permits are available online, while building a campfire, clear flammable vegetation at

1241
01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:09,920
least 10 feet from around the ring of the fire.

1242
01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:16,140
Make sure that you always have a shovel and bucket of water nearby, and never leave your campfire

1243
01:53:16,140 --> 01:53:22,600
unattended. Before leaving your campfire, make sure that you extinguish it completely. Use the

1244
01:53:22,600 --> 01:53:30,000
drown, stir, and feel method. Drown your campfire with water, stir it with a shovel, and finally,

1245
01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:37,000
feel to make sure that there's no heat coming off of your fire. So remember, all it takes is one spark.

1246
01:53:37,760 --> 01:53:42,380
unattended or improperly extinguish campfires have started many large and damaging fires

1247
01:53:42,380 --> 01:53:44,020
throughout the state of California.

1248
01:53:44,900 --> 01:53:48,340
Being outside in nature should be relaxing and enjoyable.

1249
01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:52,460
In applying these simple safety precautions will help protect yourself,

1250
01:53:52,940 --> 01:53:57,380
your family, and may make the difference in preventing the next large wildfire.

1251
01:53:58,060 --> 01:54:02,380
For more information, please visit readyforwildfire.org.

1252
01:54:10,550 --> 01:54:13,810
So one of the major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire.

1253
01:54:14,350 --> 01:54:18,230
And so while you're down visiting the Yuba River, consider the fire threat.

1254
01:54:18,230 --> 01:54:23,350
Know that on a red flag day especially, a fast-moving wildfire can get out of control.

1255
01:54:24,130 --> 01:54:32,050
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the canyon and integrates while in the baddest city.

1256
01:54:32,350 --> 01:54:35,470
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there.

1257
01:54:35,790 --> 01:54:43,190
Please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes and other products like that that could start a fire.

1258
01:54:43,190 --> 01:54:45,870
So when you're down here, pay attention to your surroundings.

1259
01:54:46,530 --> 01:54:48,790
Know that while you're down here, your cell phone may not work.

1260
01:54:49,250 --> 01:54:51,470
We do have call boxes for you to call out.

1261
01:54:51,670 --> 01:54:55,090
If there's a fire, should a fire occur in the canyon.

1262
01:54:56,050 --> 01:54:59,870
You need to be moving quickly away from it and don't wait.

1263
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:12,080
For us to fly over, go away for an injured company's, if you see it, get away from it, move up the canyon, move out of the way of it, because it's going to be congested at the trailhead trying to get out.

1264
01:55:12,460 --> 01:55:20,900
So have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely and know that evacuations may take longer on those hot summer days if there's a fire in the rivercane.

1265
01:55:21,360 --> 01:55:29,060
Think about things like evacuation. How am I going to get out and get the firework to kick off? Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather and topography,

1266
01:55:29,060 --> 01:55:33,040
It's important that you do your part to prevent wildfires in the Hebrew

1267
01:55:33,040 --> 01:55:33,540
American.

1268
01:55:40,900 --> 01:55:44,300
In the Vatican, the festival space is a year-round effort.

1269
01:55:45,540 --> 01:55:51,280
From winter storm recovery to preparing for wildfire season, resilience takes a united community.

1270
01:55:52,840 --> 01:55:57,300
Create a festival space around your home, property, or business to get first responders

1271
01:55:57,300 --> 01:55:59,340
a chance to protect what matters most.

1272
01:56:00,500 --> 01:56:01,740
We are all in this together.

1273
01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:08,420
Learn more at breading Nevada County.org slash defensible space.

1274
01:56:12,180 --> 01:56:13,300
The river gives us a challenge.

1275
01:56:13,880 --> 01:56:18,760
This year, particularly with the Spalding Dam Issues is that the water is now is unregulated

1276
01:56:18,760 --> 01:56:19,960
coming down the south of the river.

1277
01:56:20,980 --> 01:56:25,740
So we can get fluctuations where you could be in the middle of the river in the morning

1278
01:56:25,740 --> 01:56:30,320
standing on a rock high and dry, and then in the afternoon you can be knee deep in water.

1279
01:56:30,900 --> 01:56:34,000
And it all depends on how much heat they have that's going to melt the snow

1280
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:37,220
That's going to come into the leg spawning and that's going to spill over the dam.

1281
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:42,020
Being aware that change can happen and being aware when it's happening to be able to

1282
01:56:42,020 --> 01:56:45,580
move the higher ground so that you're safe and your family is safe.

1283
01:56:46,160 --> 01:56:50,600
So what you should do if you get caught in the river is to make sure that you stay calm,

1284
01:56:51,100 --> 01:56:53,760
make your feet forward down river.

1285
01:56:54,060 --> 01:56:55,020
That's the biggest part.

1286
01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:59,100
It's getting your feet down river and if you have to flow, you go with the flow of the river.

1287
01:56:59,100 --> 01:57:02,320
Look out ahead of you, look for any ways to escape,

1288
01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:05,820
any access out, any tree branches hanging over,

1289
01:57:05,960 --> 01:57:09,540
yell for help, and stay calm. That's the number one thing to stay calm.

1290
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:14,400
But the biggest part is understand that what's important is being safe.

1291
01:57:15,500 --> 01:57:19,640
The more water is in the river, the more risk there is,

1292
01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:21,860
the more hazard there is for somebody that's swimming.

1293
01:57:22,140 --> 01:57:23,880
The harder it's going to be to move around,

1294
01:57:24,300 --> 01:57:26,380
the more easily you could get knocked over,

1295
01:57:26,380 --> 01:57:30,970
look to fall into the river and generally speaking the colder the water is going to be as well.

1296
01:57:39,010 --> 01:57:45,670
What people should not bring to the river is alcohol. A barbecue, anything that has an open flame,

1297
01:57:46,370 --> 01:57:51,550
any type of glass containers, that glass container that you're carrying, it very easily

1298
01:57:51,550 --> 01:57:55,770
shatter on the rocks and it becomes a hazard for not only you but other people at the river.

1299
01:57:56,130 --> 01:58:00,570
If you're coming to the river that's wonderful and joyed, it's an incredibly magical place,

1300
01:58:00,570 --> 01:58:03,470
but take all of the trash that you brought with you,

1301
01:58:03,630 --> 01:58:06,830
everything that you brought, bring that back out with you.

1302
01:58:06,890 --> 01:58:10,290
Odds are gonna see some bottles or a pan or something like that.

1303
01:58:10,290 --> 01:58:12,370
Take that with you and please, please,

1304
01:58:12,770 --> 01:58:14,570
pick up after your pets.

1305
01:58:15,090 --> 01:58:19,250
In addition to kind of picking up trash because of aesthetic reasons,

1306
01:58:19,590 --> 01:58:21,550
we're also really worried about trash.

1307
01:58:21,710 --> 01:58:24,150
You know, the plastics and things like that and also the dog waste

1308
01:58:24,150 --> 01:58:26,550
for the health of the environment because if you don't,

1309
01:58:26,750 --> 01:58:29,830
it's just gonna end up in the river and it's bad for human health.

1310
01:58:29,830 --> 01:58:31,610
that's bad for the health and the environment as

1311
01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:39,940
well.

1312
01:58:40,080 --> 01:58:42,700
The parking lots here at the Uber River are very limited,

1313
01:58:43,360 --> 01:58:46,100
and obviously we don't have room for tons of people here

1314
01:58:46,100 --> 01:58:48,040
often, so people are at the park on the side of the highway.

1315
01:58:48,540 --> 01:58:50,500
And the highway here is an active state highway.

1316
01:58:50,860 --> 01:58:53,360
It's a vital artery to people in three different counties.

1317
01:58:53,780 --> 01:58:55,880
We have medical emergencies or any other kind of emergencies

1318
01:58:55,880 --> 01:58:57,840
in this area, the access is always key.

1319
01:58:58,020 --> 01:58:59,880
And it's always very difficult to get in these areas

1320
01:58:59,880 --> 01:59:01,460
with fire, apparatus, and equipment.

1321
01:59:01,680 --> 01:59:04,080
So to have that ability of maneuver and to park

1322
01:59:04,080 --> 01:59:06,700
and to get to somebody in need, quickly is very important.

1323
01:59:06,700 --> 01:59:15,260
Financial cost for parking citations is in the hundreds of dollars, especially for these areas, the county has enhanced some of the fines for specific parking zones in this area

1324
01:59:15,260 --> 01:59:18,800
So it is very expensive and it goes basically on your vehicle registration

1325
01:59:18,800 --> 01:59:25,440
So if you don't end up paying that parking citation, it's gonna end up on you later on when you when you pay your fees with the MD

1326
01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:31,500
So on the weekends, expect long lines not a lot of parking a lot of people

1327
01:59:31,500 --> 01:59:36,680
A lot of foot traffic on the roads, be very cautious when you're driving down towards the river.

1328
01:59:37,380 --> 01:59:39,620
And I think the biggest thing is just to be patient.

1329
01:59:40,780 --> 01:59:46,600
Understand that it's going to take time to actually park, safely walk down to the river and enjoy.

1330
01:59:46,980 --> 01:59:49,620
So, patience is something you have to bring.

1331
02:00:05,390 --> 02:00:12,390
Observe, but domesticated human family in their natural habitat, known to their species as the backyard.

1332
02:00:12,690 --> 02:00:13,890
Do you think I should light it now?

1333
02:00:14,350 --> 02:00:14,830
Yeah.

1334
02:00:16,150 --> 02:00:21,770
Oh dear, someone is about to burn one of the brain that's too tall, which can start a wild fire.

1335
02:00:26,970 --> 02:00:27,530
My head is.

1336
02:00:27,690 --> 02:00:28,290
It's not here.

1337
02:00:28,330 --> 02:00:29,190
It's my keeper.

1338
02:00:29,990 --> 02:00:30,490
What a legend.

1339
02:00:31,370 --> 02:00:32,710
Hey, it's not here.

1340
02:00:32,970 --> 02:00:34,290
Sorry, it's too high.

1341
02:00:34,830 --> 02:00:35,270
Right now.

1342
02:00:35,270 --> 02:00:38,170
Watch, as he is too plain sure, isn't that there's no wind.

1343
02:00:38,170 --> 02:00:43,610
And how do you remove some of the debris to create a smaller safe or burning part of it?

1344
02:00:43,610 --> 02:00:46,870
You can't make it, but now you can't make it being the baby, the bigger the better.

1345
02:00:46,970 --> 02:00:49,890
Take the note of our fearless furry friend to your bones.

1346
02:00:50,250 --> 02:00:52,190
I appreciate it, this part.

1347
02:00:56,790 --> 02:00:57,950
Smokey's done it again.

1348
02:00:58,750 --> 02:00:59,630
I smokey.

1349
02:01:00,930 --> 02:01:03,690
Only you can prevent wildfires.

1350
02:01:08,830 --> 02:01:10,030
The river gives us a challenge.

1351
02:01:10,030 --> 02:01:16,950
This year, particularly with the spawning damn issues is that the water is now is unregulated coming down to South Uber River

1352
02:01:17,450 --> 02:01:25,570
So we can get fluctuations where you could be in the middle of the river in the morning standing on a rock high and dry and then in the afternoon

1353
02:01:25,570 --> 02:01:30,870
You can be knee-deep in water and it all depends on how much heat they have this gonna melt the snow

1354
02:01:30,870 --> 02:01:34,110
That's gonna come into the lake spawning and that's gonna spill over the dam

1355
02:01:34,110 --> 02:01:39,790
Being aware that change can happen and being aware when it's happening to be able to move the higher ground

1356
02:01:40,030 --> 02:01:42,430
so that you're safe and your family is safe.

1357
02:01:42,990 --> 02:01:44,930
So what you should do to get caught in the river

1358
02:01:44,930 --> 02:01:47,390
is to make sure that you stay calm,

1359
02:01:47,890 --> 02:01:50,530
make your feet forward down river.

1360
02:01:50,870 --> 02:01:53,170
That's the biggest part is getting your feet down river.

1361
02:01:53,450 --> 02:01:55,870
And if you have to flow, you go with the flow of the river.

02:01:56,190 --> 02:01:59,110

02:01:59,450 --> 02:02:02,390

1364
02:02:02,710 --> 02:02:04,410
yell for help and stay calm.

1365
02:02:04,410 --> 02:02:06,170
That's the number one thing is stay calm.

1366
02:02:06,550 --> 02:02:08,610
But the biggest part is understand that

1367
02:02:08,610 --> 02:02:16,410
What's important is being safe, the more water is in the river, the more risk there is,

1368
02:02:16,530 --> 02:02:18,670
the more hazard there is for somebody that's swimming.

1369
02:02:18,950 --> 02:02:23,190
The harder it's going to be to move around, the more easily you could get knocked over,

1370
02:02:23,330 --> 02:02:27,740
slip the fall into the river, and generally speaking, the colder the water is going to be as well.

1371
02:02:34,940 --> 02:02:38,500
So one of the major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire.

1372
02:02:39,060 --> 02:02:43,040
And so while you're down visiting the Yuba River, consider the fire fair.

1373
02:02:43,040 --> 02:02:48,140
Know that on a red flag day, especially a fast-moving wildfire can get out of control.

1374
02:02:48,880 --> 02:02:54,920
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the canyon

1375
02:02:54,920 --> 02:02:56,760
and integrates while in the battle city.

1376
02:02:57,080 --> 02:03:00,220
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there.

1377
02:03:00,480 --> 02:03:05,200
Please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes

1378
02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:07,920
and other products like that that could start a fire.

1379
02:03:08,180 --> 02:03:10,640
So when you're down here, pay attention to your surroundings.

1380
02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:13,600
Know that while you're down here, you're self-funded may not work.

1381
02:03:14,080 --> 02:03:17,340
We do have call boxes for you to call out if there's a fire.

1382
02:03:18,000 --> 02:03:23,600
Should a fire occur in the canyon, you need to be moving quickly away from it.

1383
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:26,800
And don't wait for us to fly over.

1384
02:03:27,020 --> 02:03:27,540
Don't wait for it.

1385
02:03:27,540 --> 02:03:33,280
And as you companies, if you see it, get away from it, move up the canyon, move out of the way of it,

1386
02:03:33,340 --> 02:03:36,440
because it's going to be congested at the trailhead trying to get out.

1387
02:03:37,060 --> 02:03:40,120
So have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely.

1388
02:03:40,120 --> 02:03:45,640
and know that evacuations may take longer on those hot summer days if there's a fire in the river King.

1389
02:03:46,040 --> 02:03:47,660
Think about things like evacuation.

1390
02:03:48,320 --> 02:03:50,480
How am I going to get out of here for firework to kick off?

1391
02:03:50,780 --> 02:03:53,800
Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather, and topography,

1392
02:03:54,200 --> 02:03:58,100
it's important that you do your part to prevent wildfires in the river King.

1393
02:05:37,010 --> 02:05:52,890
Whether you live in our oak woodlands, we're alpine porous. If you're a resident of Nevada County, then wildfire is on your mind. From community planning to defensible space, and green waste collection,

1394
02:06:00,020 --> 02:06:07,480
we are all in this together. Learn more about wildfire preparedness at readynavaticcounty.org.

1395
02:06:07,480 --> 02:06:17,820
As the UC Cooperative Extension Force and Fire Advisor, my goal is to extend the best available research to the people who are helping people prepare here in our region.

1396
02:06:18,660 --> 02:06:31,000
And so I often work with the agencies and partners throughout town to make sure that they're aware of the latest research that people publish and that they can incorporate that into their planning and preparedness.

1397
02:06:31,920 --> 02:06:35,960
I know that when we think about fire in California it can be really overwhelming.

1398
02:06:36,140 --> 02:06:38,860
You can think what can I do? I'm just one person.

1399
02:06:39,720 --> 02:06:43,160
But what I can say is you can start at your own home where you live with your family.

1400
02:06:44,120 --> 02:06:46,440
And I tell people there's a lot of things you can do.

1401
02:06:46,760 --> 02:06:48,500
But there's still going to be a chance that your home burns.

1402
02:06:48,900 --> 02:06:51,480
You can dramatically reduce the chance of your home burning.

1403
02:06:51,820 --> 02:06:54,200
But it will never be completely safe because we live in California.

1404
02:06:54,640 --> 02:06:57,260
Fire is here before us and it will be here after us as well.

1405
02:06:57,260 --> 02:07:04,020
You can have an evacuation plan so that if there is a fire you know how to get out and you know how to protect your family

1406
02:07:04,020 --> 02:07:10,240
The next step would be to prepare in your home and the lands around it so making sure that your home is fire-resistant

1407
02:07:10,760 --> 02:07:15,780
Then working on the defensible space surrounding that and once you have kind of have your own personal things tackled

1408
02:07:15,780 --> 02:07:20,400
You can really start to engage in the broader community and you can think about how can I work with my neighborhood?

1409
02:07:20,600 --> 02:07:25,680
So all of these people can achieve the same goals that I have and we together will be stronger in California

1410
02:07:25,680 --> 02:07:29,540
And we've been hearing about defensible space for quite a long time because we have a public

1411
02:07:29,540 --> 02:07:32,080
resource code about it, California, 42-91.

1412
02:07:33,620 --> 02:07:39,260
And when I think about 42-91, I know that it was written many years ago and since then we've

1413
02:07:39,260 --> 02:07:43,860
had many unfortunate fires and we've increased our knowledge about what actually improves

1414
02:07:43,860 --> 02:07:44,740
home survival.

1415
02:07:45,460 --> 02:07:49,560
And there's this new zone around a home within five feet of a home actually where University

1416
02:07:49,560 --> 02:07:54,440
of California, the National Fire Protection Association, Firewise USA, and the Internet Institute

1417
02:07:54,440 --> 02:07:59,080
for business and home safety, all are recommending to have no combustible materials within

1418
02:07:59,080 --> 02:08:01,620
five feet of a home or low combustibility.

1419
02:08:02,660 --> 02:08:05,200
And I know people will say, but Kate, I love my plants.

1420
02:08:06,980 --> 02:08:08,760
And I have to tell them, I love plants too.

1421
02:08:08,780 --> 02:08:14,700
I was a botanist, but I have to think about where I can put the plants that I love so that

1422
02:08:14,700 --> 02:08:17,020
my home is safe and so that they're also safe.

1423
02:08:17,520 --> 02:08:22,480
And so the message we're trying to tell people now is that from zero to five feet of a house,

1424
02:08:22,480 --> 02:08:27,560
You have no combustible objects or maybe low combustibility if you're really good at maintenance

1425
02:08:27,560 --> 02:08:31,920
I'm not, but maybe you are so you could have a well irrigated lawn that you

1426
02:08:31,920 --> 02:08:37,640
Mo regularly or maybe a few annual plants with a rock mulch and then out from there

1427
02:08:37,640 --> 02:08:42,600
From five feet to 30 feet. It's the lean clean and green zone and in that area

1428
02:08:42,600 --> 02:08:44,800
You'll have beautiful plants

1429
02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:51,360
But they're going to be spaced really wide apart so that there's no continuous fuel leading towards your home

1430
02:08:51,360 --> 02:08:53,720
And you'll have beautiful hard scraping.

1431
02:08:54,180 --> 02:09:00,540
I've seen flags, stones, and decomposed granite, and tile work that you can use to kind of

1432
02:09:00,540 --> 02:09:02,560
break up all of those fuels that are near your home.

1433
02:09:02,560 --> 02:09:05,640
And then from 30 feet to 100 feet, you'll have reduced fuel.

1434
02:09:06,300 --> 02:09:10,760
So around my home, that means we have large ponderosa pine trees and cedar trees.

1435
02:09:11,200 --> 02:09:17,860
But we've reduced the understory cover, some, and we've really opened up the forest canopy in

1436
02:09:17,860 --> 02:09:18,320
that area.

1437
02:09:18,320 --> 02:09:26,080
So, California Public Resource Code 4291, they have two zones, zero to 30 feet, which is

1438
02:09:26,080 --> 02:09:29,440
lean, clean and green, and the 30 to 100 feet, which is reduced fuel.

1439
02:09:29,720 --> 02:09:34,220
We know many homes burn because of embers, because of embers getting into addicts, but

1440
02:09:34,220 --> 02:09:41,060
also because of embers that land at the base of the house, and your mulch, and your woody

1441
02:09:41,060 --> 02:09:46,020
plants that are not well maintained, and your lawn that wasn't mowed that week, and when

1442
02:09:46,020 --> 02:09:49,920
in an ember lands really close to your house. Maybe within zero to five feet and you get

1443
02:09:49,920 --> 02:09:54,980
a small fire that small fire can grow and it can catch your house on fire.

1444
02:09:56,880 --> 02:09:59,960
And so the latest research and the latest recommendations at the national level.

1445
02:10:11,500 --> 02:10:29,980
So when I think about defensible space and your home, I know that we really need to have the most intensity right around the home itself. You want your home to be fire-resistant. You want to have load and open your home.

1446
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:36,160
combustibility within 5 feet from 5 to 30 feet have a lean, clean, and green zone, and then

1447
02:10:36,160 --> 02:10:38,620
from 30 to 100 feet you have reduced fuels.

1448
02:10:39,720 --> 02:10:44,420
And nowhere in there, except within 5 feet of a house, am I talking about bare mineral soil

1449
02:10:44,420 --> 02:10:45,200
or rocks?

1450
02:10:45,980 --> 02:10:53,760
Beyond that, you can enjoy the greenery of nature and flowers and trees, but you just want to

1451
02:10:53,760 --> 02:10:55,100
be very careful about their spacing.

1452
02:10:55,960 --> 02:10:58,400
I've heard some people say, I'm really afraid of fire.

1453
02:10:58,400 --> 02:11:01,520
I'm going to have 500 feet of bare mineral soil.

1454
02:11:02,760 --> 02:11:04,900
And I get worried, because I think that's a lot of work.

1455
02:11:05,340 --> 02:11:07,420
But I also know that isn't necessarily

1456
02:11:07,420 --> 02:11:08,680
protect them from fire.

1457
02:11:08,820 --> 02:11:11,300
It protects them from one aspect of a fire,

1458
02:11:11,360 --> 02:11:14,500
it protects them from a flame front, moving past their house.

1459
02:11:14,600 --> 02:11:16,020
But it doesn't protect them from the embers.

1460
02:11:16,140 --> 02:11:17,680
It could still catch that house on fire.

1461
02:11:17,920 --> 02:11:22,160
I also know that when we start to have 500 or more feet

1462
02:11:22,160 --> 02:11:24,540
of defensible space that sometimes that actually

1463
02:11:24,540 --> 02:11:27,240
might negatively impact our national resources,

1464
02:11:27,240 --> 02:11:30,760
We need to be careful about how we manage our defensible space.

1465
02:11:31,300 --> 02:11:35,380
Sometimes we live in these beautiful and mixed conifer forests like around here in Nevada City,

1466
02:11:36,820 --> 02:11:41,200
and reducing the fuels in those forests actually could be a type of restoration that could be good for them.

1467
02:11:41,760 --> 02:11:45,440
But at other times, if you live maybe in a shaperel area,

1468
02:11:45,680 --> 02:11:49,780
reducing those fuels for more than 100 feet could actually be detrimental to that plant community.

1469
02:11:50,280 --> 02:11:53,600
And so we just need to be really mindful of how we use defensible space,

1470
02:11:53,600 --> 02:11:56,660
And knowing that we only really need about a hundred feet.

1471
02:11:56,860 --> 02:12:00,740
For our home, unless you live on a very steep slope or if there's very dense vegetation,

1472
02:12:01,000 --> 02:12:02,800
you might want to extend it to a 200 feet.

1473
02:12:03,240 --> 02:12:06,660
So I always like to think that everyone is an expert in fire physics.

1474
02:12:06,860 --> 02:12:09,760
It's not just people like myself who have their doctorates in it.

1475
02:12:09,860 --> 02:12:12,240
Because we've all roasted marshmallows around a campfire.

1476
02:12:12,540 --> 02:12:14,800
So we all know how fire works.

1477
02:12:14,820 --> 02:12:18,900
We know that if you take your marshmallow and you stick it directly into the center of a campfire,

1478
02:12:18,900 --> 02:12:20,660
it's going to catch fire.

1479
02:12:21,600 --> 02:12:24,900
And that's how homes can get caught on fire as well,

1480
02:12:25,120 --> 02:12:26,380
kind of that direct flame contact.

1481
02:12:26,500 --> 02:12:28,860
But when I think about what makes the fire resistant home,

1482
02:12:29,020 --> 02:12:31,560
they often have, I think about maybe the top five things

1483
02:12:31,560 --> 02:12:32,100
that you can do.

1484
02:12:32,180 --> 02:12:34,540
You can have a roof that's resistant to fire,

1485
02:12:34,640 --> 02:12:36,220
a deck that's resistant to fire,

1486
02:12:36,360 --> 02:12:38,120
you can have defensible space,

1487
02:12:38,780 --> 02:12:41,440
and you can work on your siding and your windows.

1488
02:12:41,980 --> 02:12:43,380
But so when I think about a roof,

1489
02:12:44,400 --> 02:12:46,800
you want to make sure that your roof is resistant to fire.

1490
02:12:47,400 --> 02:12:49,120
And that's having a class A roof.

1491
02:12:49,120 --> 02:12:51,780
And that can be a single roof.

1492
02:12:52,000 --> 02:12:53,900
It can be a metal roof or a tile roof.

1493
02:12:54,520 --> 02:12:56,120
And a lot of times, you go, I hear people say,

1494
02:12:56,180 --> 02:12:57,260
I have a metal roof.

1495
02:12:57,380 --> 02:12:58,640
I'm OK from fire.

1496
02:12:59,440 --> 02:13:01,800
And we have to be really careful with those assumptions.

1497
02:13:02,020 --> 02:13:03,640
Because when I think about a fire resistant home,

1498
02:13:03,720 --> 02:13:07,700
it's always about the design, the materials, and the maintenance.

1499
02:13:08,760 --> 02:13:11,640
And so metal and tile roofs, they often have these gaps

1500
02:13:11,640 --> 02:13:12,560
on the edges.

1501
02:13:13,260 --> 02:13:14,220
These little gaps.

1502
02:13:14,520 --> 02:13:16,160
You need to plug up with some sort of filler,

1503
02:13:16,240 --> 02:13:17,560
which I'm certain the building part

1504
02:13:17,560 --> 02:13:19,980
can tell you what to use, and I can't.

1505
02:13:20,520 --> 02:13:24,540
But what I can say is that little critters love to make nests there, whether they're a

1506
02:13:24,540 --> 02:13:30,560
wasp, or a bird, or a small mammal, like a mouse, it's the perfect size for a nest.

1507
02:13:31,180 --> 02:13:35,440
Which is unfortunate because then you have all of these grasses and needles and leaves right

1508
02:13:35,440 --> 02:13:41,460
on your wooden roof deck, underneath the concrete, or underneath the concrete, or the

1509
02:13:41,460 --> 02:13:45,640
tile, or the metal, and that actually is what often catches those types of roofs on fire.

1510
02:13:45,640 --> 02:13:51,360
One of the other things every home needs is to make sure that they have attic and basement vents

1511
02:13:51,360 --> 02:13:56,200
that can reduce the number of embers that come into that house, and that is currently regulated

1512
02:13:56,200 --> 02:14:02,820
in the California Building Code Chapter 7A. But if you have an older home like myself then it

1513
02:14:02,820 --> 02:14:07,660
didn't apply when it was built, because that's a newer building code. And so I've gone back into my house

1514
02:14:07,660 --> 02:14:12,820
when we first moved in, we couldn't afford fancy new vents. And so we went to the hardware store

1515
02:14:12,820 --> 02:14:18,580
but one eighth-inch screen and we stapled that over all of our events and their

1516
02:14:18,580 --> 02:14:22,040
attic and our basement. Once we kind of settled, you know, through the moving

1517
02:14:22,040 --> 02:14:27,260
into a new place, we were able to afford new events. And so we went to the California

1518
02:14:27,260 --> 02:14:32,340
Building Code website and we looked to see, you know, what were the main companies they

1519
02:14:32,340 --> 02:14:37,160
recommended and the style events. We decided on an event that had an exterior

1520
02:14:37,160 --> 02:14:42,120
you're a baffling, and then a one-eighth inch screen that had in to mess in paint.

1521
02:14:43,480 --> 02:14:46,580
So I thought a lot of things, let me try to break that down just a little bit.

1522
02:14:46,840 --> 02:14:53,060
So the reason we have attic vents is because they help your attic air circulate so that your home

1523
02:14:53,060 --> 02:14:54,880
doesn't rock from the inside out.

1524
02:14:55,340 --> 02:14:58,420
But in a fire, they actually serve two main purposes, these vents.

1525
02:14:58,620 --> 02:14:59,960
The vents all vents in your...

1526
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:02,580
House can allow members to go into your house.

1527
02:15:04,740 --> 02:15:15,520
And then if your home is close enough to another structure or maybe some plants that catch fire, then those vents can also be a way that you can have direct flame going into your house.

1528
02:15:16,000 --> 02:15:29,360
And so when I thought about what type of event I really wanted on my house, I wanted a event that reduced the amount of embers that could go in. That's why we have the exterior baffling because as the air moves up and down and up and down to get through the vent.

1529
02:15:29,360 --> 02:15:34,820
those metal slats actually helps to snuff out those embers and then we have the one eighth

1530
02:15:34,820 --> 02:15:38,720
inch screen because again that helps reduce the amount of embers that are going into the

1531
02:15:38,720 --> 02:15:45,140
attic and then that screen has an intemescent paint and what intemescent paint is it has

1532
02:15:45,140 --> 02:15:50,900
a chemical composition that swells when it's exposed to heat so if something nearby is on

1533
02:15:50,900 --> 02:15:56,580
fire then that intemescent paint will swell shut and not allow anything else into the

1534
02:15:56,580 --> 02:16:01,060
at a cross-base, and I think, you know, for most people, we're going to need events that

1535
02:16:01,060 --> 02:16:03,800
can do all of those things, not one or the other.

1536
02:16:04,100 --> 02:16:09,100
The other thing that I would recommend is to have some plywood cutouts that you can put

1537
02:16:09,100 --> 02:16:12,280
over the exterior of your events before you evacuate if you have time.

1538
02:16:13,000 --> 02:16:16,540
I know a lot of our evacuations like California are unfortunately becoming much shorter

1539
02:16:16,540 --> 02:16:20,460
and shorter time frames before we have to leave, and so you have to be ready to leave without

1540
02:16:20,460 --> 02:16:23,780
any of that, but if you have the time, it can be nice to put on.

1541
02:16:23,780 --> 02:16:29,560
One question I'm often asked is, Kate, I really want vents, but I'm not sure if I can afford them.

1542
02:16:30,100 --> 02:16:31,520
Especially if you're on a fixed income.

1543
02:16:32,620 --> 02:16:35,260
But we have a resource that USDA rule development.

1544
02:16:36,060 --> 02:16:39,220
Loan service actually will give loans out for home improvements.

1545
02:16:39,820 --> 02:16:43,460
And home renovations that include making your home resistant to fire.

1546
02:16:44,440 --> 02:16:49,200
And so that can be one way, so these types of renovations, like vents, closing in,

1547
02:16:49,200 --> 02:16:54,820
your softets, updating your deck, can be affordable for people who are here and living on a fixed income.

1548
02:16:55,640 --> 02:16:59,180
The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety has a wildfire checklist.

1549
02:16:59,660 --> 02:17:03,600
And you can Google that. The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety wildfire checklist.

1550
02:17:04,020 --> 02:17:09,740
And it can go through and it tells you every event to look out, every window, every place where you should

1551
02:17:09,740 --> 02:17:16,460
have put coffee in or you need to put coffee in. And they can help walk you through that list of items to do.

1552
02:17:16,460 --> 02:17:18,620
And it's an extensive list.

1553
02:17:19,060 --> 02:17:24,780
There are these top five areas that you really need to work on as a resident of fire zone.

1554
02:17:25,920 --> 02:17:31,220
At the same time, there's areas that are beyond that that we all should be working on still.

1555
02:17:32,100 --> 02:17:33,960
Because fire is kind of like water.

1556
02:17:34,100 --> 02:17:39,100
It's probably going to find a way in, so we need to be very careful and have it well maintained homes.

1557
02:17:39,100 --> 02:17:45,660
The Roots of Nevada County's assisted outpatient treatment program stem from a tragic shooting

1558
02:17:45,660 --> 02:17:48,060
that occurred in the county in 2001.

1559
02:17:48,700 --> 02:17:53,780
An individual with an untreated mental illness entered the County Mental Health Clinic

1560
02:17:53,780 --> 02:18:01,780
and shot and killed two individuals, then proceeded to go to a business in Grass Valley,

1561
02:18:02,560 --> 02:18:05,440
shot and killed another individual, several people were wounded.

1562
02:18:05,440 --> 02:18:12,420
One of the individuals that was killed was Laura Wilcox.

1563
02:18:13,760 --> 02:18:21,600
Laura's parents took it upon themselves to advocate and work with state legislators

1564
02:18:22,440 --> 02:18:28,700
to enact what was known as Laura's law in the state of California.

1565
02:18:29,240 --> 02:18:32,680
Laura's law became part of California's welfare and institutions code,

1566
02:18:32,680 --> 02:18:44,980
Replicating what was done in dozens of other states several years later, California's mental health services act provided a potential funding source for Nevada County to implement assisted outpatient treatment.

1567
02:18:45,700 --> 02:18:51,820
So in May 2008, after about a year and a half of planning efforts,

1568
02:19:03,440 --> 02:19:17,980
The program offers a unique solution that bridges the gap for dangerous people in need of mental health services, who may not be on probation, are not gravely disabled, or don't meet the criteria for emergency involuntary hospitalization.

1569
02:19:17,980 --> 02:19:25,760
Assisted outpatient treatment allows a judge to order those individuals to receive outpatient treatment

1570
02:19:25,760 --> 02:19:30,500
in their community, they can still live at home, they can still work, they can still go to school,

1571
02:19:31,180 --> 02:19:36,020
but they're ordered into treatment. The program is successful because of its collaborative nature.

1572
02:19:36,220 --> 02:19:44,520
The collaborative courts are amazing. It is a conversation with the judge and the attorneys

1573
02:19:44,520 --> 02:19:47,660
and the treatment team in the jaw.

1574
02:19:47,920 --> 02:19:50,760
In the personal contact of having a flowered team,

1575
02:19:51,200 --> 02:19:55,680
avoids a lot of misunderstanding and allows for, you know,

1576
02:19:55,800 --> 02:19:57,180
the benefits to proceed.

1577
02:19:57,540 --> 02:19:59,820
And so when you watch the judge,

1578
02:20:02,580 --> 02:20:13,340
You see how there is the ability to really address some of the treatment issues with the client.

1579
02:20:13,660 --> 02:20:17,640
Collaborative processes have a much greater impact on a much more effective.

1580
02:20:17,640 --> 02:20:25,180
It's serious in that the judge attempts to hold a person accountable for that fitting

1581
02:20:25,180 --> 02:20:31,900
plan that they agreed to and also hold the provider accountable for seeing what they're

1582
02:20:31,900 --> 02:20:38,040
going to do to assist this person with some of the things that they feel are obstacles

1583
02:20:38,040 --> 02:20:39,800
for them and their lives.

1584
02:20:39,800 --> 02:20:54,520
So we are having a conversation and it is very supportive recovery oriented environment that is the takes place right in the quarter.

1585
02:20:55,060 --> 02:21:02,820
Of 25 people referred to the program only five have the face court orders to undergo treatment and the rest volunteered to be treated

1586
02:21:02,820 --> 02:21:08,940
and data showed that the program has saved more than a half million dollars over two and a half years.

1587
02:21:08,940 --> 02:21:13,420
The cost savings is related to some of the benefit of the community.

1588
02:21:14,500 --> 02:21:19,180
We have those 25 people are spending less time in jail.

1589
02:21:19,660 --> 02:21:25,320
That means less time for judges, less time for probation officers, less arrest

1590
02:21:25,320 --> 02:21:28,540
that the sheriffs and local police departments have to do.

1591
02:21:28,980 --> 02:21:34,220
So it frees up law enforcement to pay attention to other areas.

1592
02:21:34,220 --> 02:21:43,660
Many of these individuals are now living independently rather than either homeless or in a transient lifestyle.

1593
02:21:44,900 --> 02:21:53,160
Many of these individuals are either full-time employing or part-time employing compared to no employment before the entertainment.

1594
02:21:53,700 --> 02:22:03,740
I believe that our community is safer because these folks are now in treatment versus being somewhere in the community out of treatment.

1595
02:22:17,070 --> 02:22:22,450
I'm a river scientist and river skills teacher and I also love to say it's a river.

1596
02:22:23,210 --> 02:22:27,570
12 years ago started doing some camps that teach people what we call river literacy.

1597
02:22:28,150 --> 02:22:33,250
How you can read the water, so you can understand where it's awesome places to play, what the river is doing,

1598
02:22:33,510 --> 02:22:37,490
but also you can find the really safe spots and you can basically read the water.

1599
02:22:38,730 --> 02:22:43,290
So I'd love to give for you all the main just of what we cover in those camps.

1600
02:22:43,290 --> 02:22:50,130
the areas that we like, that we'll cover here right now are some look, grip, and footprint.

1601
02:22:51,510 --> 02:22:56,750
The first concept of look, it's, we are so blessed here at the Uba, we have this incredible

1602
02:22:56,750 --> 02:23:00,990
water, so you can see the bottom, you can see all around you, incredible visibility, wonderful

1603
02:23:00,990 --> 02:23:01,930
with a mask and sparkle.

1604
02:23:02,430 --> 02:23:05,710
But it's super important when you're playing, that you're actually looking for other things

1605
02:23:05,710 --> 02:23:06,150
too.

1606
02:23:06,330 --> 02:23:10,370
Wherever you are, you whatever you're going to do, we all have different choices of what we do at

1607
02:23:10,370 --> 02:23:12,770
the river, it's super important you scout first.

1608
02:23:12,770 --> 02:23:20,770
So if you're tempted, you want those people who like to jump off rocks, you should be in the water ahead of time with a mask and looking very carefully for any obstructions.

1609
02:23:21,690 --> 02:23:31,470
If you're like me who loves to go into large folders and these beautiful, beautiful large openings underneath full of fish, then you also want to always look and make sure that it's totally clear.

1610
02:23:31,470 --> 02:23:37,590
We get really, this river is very dynamic, changes a lot, and last year we had very high flows on the river

1611
02:23:37,590 --> 02:23:42,590
that move large rocks and other obstructions that can hunt the bean in our favorite place spot.

1612
02:23:43,030 --> 02:23:48,530
So the best way to live and make sure you can be safe in those spots is looking from downstream up first.

1613
02:23:48,750 --> 02:23:50,570
That way the current can't fool you into anything.

1614
02:23:50,930 --> 02:23:53,330
And you can make sure everything's in the clear.

1615
02:23:55,410 --> 02:23:56,830
Point number two, grip.

1616
02:23:57,530 --> 02:24:00,050
We're again, beautiful granite rocks here.

1617
02:24:00,050 --> 02:24:04,990
to lay on their so soft, they're so nurturing, they're really wonderful. Guess what? They're

1618
02:24:04,990 --> 02:24:09,450
also, of course, slippery. So when hopping from rock to rock, it can be quite easy to slip and

1619
02:24:09,450 --> 02:24:14,250
lose your footing and you might come into a place that actually has a very large hazard or just simply

1620
02:24:14,250 --> 02:24:19,850
grit yourself. It's also when we're following a buddy they've gone before us and the rock is wet.

1621
02:24:20,230 --> 02:24:25,370
So when we jump, it's not the same jump that they did. It's super important, as you're at the river,

1622
02:24:25,370 --> 02:24:30,090
If you can move along, use three points of contact, move yourself along as quickly as you need.

1623
02:24:30,370 --> 02:24:32,990
But it's incredible how much it serves us for our stability.

1624
02:24:33,990 --> 02:24:38,050
Every year, every year, someone falls and gets seriously either injured or dies,

1625
02:24:38,550 --> 02:24:39,830
simply from slipping on rocks.

1626
02:24:40,750 --> 02:24:42,810
And a third concept for attack.

1627
02:24:43,470 --> 02:24:45,870
So our bodies, they're bizarrely shaped.

1628
02:24:45,950 --> 02:24:49,670
And if you look at all these things coming out, they're just set to get snagged into things.

1629
02:24:50,170 --> 02:24:54,530
And some of the places we're playing, or some of the places we might find ourselves have some rocks

1630
02:24:54,530 --> 02:24:58,670
that have really small openings, and we can easily get what's called in-strat.

1631
02:24:59,730 --> 02:24:59,970
Even in-strat.

1632
02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:29,700
Start low flow. It's very easy to get trapped. It's just, it's really quite bizarre. So what's important for us if you find yourself in a situation where you have large moving water or rocks underneath where that can have entrapments. You can't see them. It's super important you protect yourself. And what I mean by that is if you end up either accidentally or intentionally one of those spots fall at get those limbs in. Don't be shoving those into the rocks. Another very important part of protection is protecting each other.

1633
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:35,040
Some people are pushing themselves to keep up with others and doing things that are not fighting their body.

1634
02:25:35,400 --> 02:25:40,480
Some people you might see are just doing things that are just plain silly that can harm themselves or harm others.

1635
02:25:40,860 --> 02:25:43,620
Super important to you, Kerry, for as a protect each other while with a river.

1636
02:25:45,160 --> 02:25:49,320
It's a great thing to you all so much for watching this video and love and sharing for the U.S.

1637
02:25:49,440 --> 02:25:55,060
And just remember these concepts next time you go down to the river to remember to look, rip and protect.

1638
02:25:55,580 --> 02:25:58,260
And enjoy yourself, have a great time at the river, and be safe.

1639
02:26:57,040 --> 02:27:03,260
Tricky Healthy Babies is an evidence-cased home visiting program model.

1640
02:27:03,580 --> 02:27:09,900
A home visitor forms a really healthy, long-lasting relationship with the family,

1641
02:27:10,520 --> 02:27:16,820
and teach parents how to understand their baby at every single stage of development.

1642
02:27:20,020 --> 02:27:25,320
I just struggled a lot being a first-time mom, and joy was just really there and support.

1643
02:27:25,320 --> 02:27:32,440
The support is it's it's wonderful and in feeling like you're actually a part of a community and that's you're not alone.

1644
02:27:32,760 --> 02:27:36,400
Well holding a small toy in each hand is he clapped the toys together.

1645
02:27:37,740 --> 02:27:38,300
Hi.

1646
02:27:39,120 --> 02:27:40,960
Well my home visitor comes to visit.

1647
02:27:41,400 --> 02:27:41,680
It's fun.

1648
02:27:42,080 --> 02:27:42,620
We have fun.

1649
02:27:42,780 --> 02:27:45,720
We enjoy each other and sort of change.

1650
02:27:48,910 --> 02:27:51,770
I've benefited by having someone else to talk to.

1651
02:27:52,690 --> 02:27:55,570
You know, I'm just someone that's caring about what's going on in my life.

1652
02:27:56,990 --> 02:28:01,450
as well as you know the development of my child where do I go in the community for

1653
02:28:01,450 --> 02:28:05,470
diverse if I need them last minute where can I go to get some food if my family

1654
02:28:05,470 --> 02:28:10,210
struggling these things I had no idea about I had nowhere to go knowing that

1655
02:28:10,210 --> 02:28:16,450
there's someone there that you can reach out to is amazing when I talk with my

1656
02:28:16,450 --> 02:28:21,670
colleagues in other areas of the state one of the things that I am reminded

1657
02:28:21,670 --> 02:28:27,390
again and again about that is unique about in Nevada County is the extent to which we are connected

1658
02:28:27,390 --> 02:28:34,690
with one another. We have multiple nonprofit agencies and government agencies and we all know

1659
02:28:34,690 --> 02:28:42,270
one another and we all work together and so put heel and trucky healthy babies. I know that if I'm looking

1660
02:28:42,270 --> 02:28:48,290
for a resource that those home visitors know all the resources that are out there and I can pick up the

1661
02:28:48,290 --> 02:28:53,530
and call them and say, hey, I just got a call from a family and they're looking for X, Y, Z.

1662
02:28:54,450 --> 02:28:58,210
And chances are those home visits will be able to tell me what that is.

1663
02:28:58,310 --> 02:29:05,170
I'm doing this for 35 years. So one trend that everybody my age has noticed is when we were practicing,

1664
02:29:05,590 --> 02:29:12,870
we were dealing a lot with medical issues. We now are dealing with many more mental health issues,

1665
02:29:12,870 --> 02:29:19,110
particularly with the stressors on family and how to lessons, depression, anxiety.

1666
02:29:19,850 --> 02:29:25,490
I've been reading a lot of research lately that says the number one factor in resilience for

1667
02:29:25,490 --> 02:29:34,270
kid in building resilience is having a warm, positive relationship with a caring adult in their life.

1668
02:29:34,590 --> 02:29:40,870
Usually that caring adult is a parent, but the beauty of home visiting is that parents who may not

1669
02:29:40,870 --> 02:29:45,730
have had that, have an opportunity to build that kind of relationship with their home visitor

1670
02:29:45,730 --> 02:29:50,510
and then have the ability to build that kind of relationship with their child,

1671
02:29:50,990 --> 02:29:53,110
which will carry forward through the generations.

1672
02:29:53,450 --> 02:29:59,970
And I really think that if you want to change the world, the way to do it is to provide that kind of intensive home.

1673
02:30:13,770 --> 02:30:23,010
What people should not bring to the river is alcohol, a barbecue, anything that has an open flame, any type of glass containers,

1674
02:30:23,730 --> 02:30:31,290
that glass container that you're carrying, it very easily shatter on the rocks and it becomes a hazard for not only you but other people at the river.

1675
02:30:31,470 --> 02:30:39,830
If you come to the river that's wonderful and joyed, it's an incredibly magical place, but take all of the trash that you brought with you everything that you brought.

1676
02:30:39,830 --> 02:30:45,150
bring that back out with you, odds are you're going to see some bottles or a pan or something

1677
02:30:45,150 --> 02:30:49,270
like that take that with you. And please please, please pick up after your pets.

1678
02:30:50,410 --> 02:30:56,430
In addition to kind of picking a trash because of aesthetic reasons, we're also really worried about

1679
02:30:56,430 --> 02:31:00,850
trash, you know, the plastics and things like that and also the dog waste for the health of the environment.

1680
02:31:01,030 --> 02:31:05,710
Because if you don't, it's just going to end up in the river and it's bad for human health and it's bad to

1681
02:31:05,710 --> 02:31:06,950
to help the environment as well.

1682
02:33:26,540 --> 02:33:28,060
For the major threats that we face here

1683
02:33:28,060 --> 02:33:29,580
in Nevada County, as wildfire.

1684
02:33:30,200 --> 02:33:32,240
And so while you're down visiting the Yuba River,

1685
02:33:32,640 --> 02:33:34,200
consider the fire threat.

1686
02:33:34,600 --> 02:33:36,500
Know that on a red flag day, especially,

1687
02:33:36,980 --> 02:33:39,180
a fast-moving wildfire can get out of control.

1688
02:33:39,960 --> 02:33:43,900
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire

1689
02:33:43,900 --> 02:33:46,060
that pushes all the way down the canyon

1690
02:33:46,060 --> 02:33:47,860
and integrates well in Nevada City.

1691
02:33:48,160 --> 02:33:49,620
So this summer, we're encouraging folks

1692
02:33:49,620 --> 02:33:51,260
to just be safe when they're out there.

1693
02:33:51,480 --> 02:33:53,720
Please don't have barbecues or campfires.

1694
02:33:53,720 --> 02:33:58,460
Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes and other products like that that could start a fire

1695
02:33:58,940 --> 02:34:04,840
So when you're down here pay attention to your surroundings know that while you're down here your cell phone may not work

1696
02:34:04,840 --> 02:34:10,880
We do have call boxes for you to call out if there's a fire should a fire occur in the canyon

1697
02:34:11,520 --> 02:34:16,580
You need to be moving quickly away from it and don't wait for us to

1698
02:34:17,020 --> 02:34:23,600
Fly over don't wait for an edge of companies if you see it get away from it move up the canyon move out of the way

1699
02:34:23,600 --> 02:34:29,720
it because it's going to be congested at the trail ahead trying to get out. So have a plan to get

1700
02:34:29,720 --> 02:34:34,800
yourself and your family out safely and know that evacuations may take longer on those hot

1701
02:34:34,800 --> 02:34:39,800
summer days if there's a fire in the river king. Think about things like evacuation. How am I going

1702
02:34:39,800 --> 02:34:44,380
to get out and get some firework to kick off? Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather, and

1703
02:34:44,380 --> 02:34:48,880
topography, it's important that you do your part to prevent wildfires in the Uber

1704
02:34:56,980 --> 02:34:59,880
The parking lot's here at the Uber River are very limited.

1705
02:35:00,110 --> 02:35:10,670
And obviously we don't have room for tons of people here often. So people have to park on the side of the highway. And the highway here is an active state highway. It's a vital artery to people in three different counties.

1706
02:35:11,070 --> 02:35:24,170
We have medical emergencies or any other kind of emergencies in this area. Access is always key. And it's always very difficult to get in these areas with fire apparatus and equipment. So to have that ability of maneuver and to park and to get to somebody in need, quickly is very important.

1707
02:35:24,170 --> 02:35:27,950
Financial cost for parking citations is in the hundreds of dollars, especially for these areas.

1708
02:35:28,390 --> 02:35:32,530
The county has enhanced some of the fines for specific parking zones in this area,

1709
02:35:32,610 --> 02:35:36,030
so it is very expensive, and it goes basically on your vehicle registration.

1710
02:35:36,430 --> 02:35:41,390
So if you don't end up paying that parking citation, it's going to end up on you later on when you

1711
02:35:41,390 --> 02:35:46,990
pay your fees with the MD. So on the weekends, expect long lines, not a lot of parking,

1712
02:35:47,690 --> 02:35:53,470
a lot of people, a lot of foot traffic on the roads, be very cautious when you're driving down towards

1713
02:35:53,470 --> 02:35:59,390
river. And I think the biggest thing is just to be patient. Understand that it's going to take

1714
02:35:59,390 --> 02:36:06,190
time to actually park, safely walk down to the river and enjoy. So patience is something

1715
02:36:06,190 --> 02:36:07,270
you have to bring.

1716
02:36:12,750 --> 02:36:18,310
Election officials work hard to maintain the integrity, security, and privacy of elections in

1717
02:36:18,310 --> 02:36:23,070
Nevada County. Every registered voter in the county will receive a vote by mail ballot

1718
02:36:23,070 --> 02:36:27,610
in the mail. Have you ever wondered what happens to your ballot when you send it in?

1719
02:36:27,610 --> 02:36:31,910
Return ballots are received at the elections office where they're processed and counted.

1720
02:36:32,330 --> 02:36:36,510
Each voter's ballot envelope has a unique barcode that gives you credit for voter.

1721
02:36:36,990 --> 02:36:39,890
This ensures that each voter can only vote once.

1722
02:36:40,390 --> 02:36:45,310
Every signed ballot envelope is compared to signatures on file for the voter in our database.

1723
02:36:45,730 --> 02:36:49,150
If your signature matches, your ballot moves on to the next step.

1724
02:36:49,510 --> 02:36:54,690
If your signature is challenged, you'll be notified and given instructions on how to correct the issue.

1725
02:36:54,690 --> 02:37:00,010
The two most common reasons of valid envelope is challenged are the envelope isn't signed

1726
02:37:00,010 --> 02:37:02,670
or the signature doesn't match the voter's record.

1727
02:37:03,070 --> 02:37:05,950
A challenge ballot will be counted once the problem is corrected.

1728
02:37:06,610 --> 02:37:10,690
You can check the status of your ballot at minivatacounty.com-elections.

1729
02:37:12,070 --> 02:37:13,710
When voter signatures are verified,

1730
02:37:14,170 --> 02:37:17,690
ballot envelopes are open and the ballot is removed, unfolded,

1731
02:37:17,830 --> 02:37:21,270
and prepared for processing through scanners which total up the votes.

1732
02:37:21,270 --> 02:37:25,710
Results are tabulated and released after the polls closed on election night.

1733
02:37:26,030 --> 02:37:30,810
When you vote by mail, you can be assured that your vote counts, and that your ballot

1734
02:37:30,810 --> 02:37:32,630
is both secure and private.

1735
02:37:33,250 --> 02:37:38,550
If you have any questions, contact the Nevada County elections office or visit us online.

1736
02:37:44,540 --> 02:37:50,100
I'm a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, served on over for five years, and when I got

1737
02:37:50,100 --> 02:37:54,400
out, I had my own trials and tribulations like most veterans do and about a year after I got

1738
02:37:54,400 --> 02:37:56,160
I found myself homeless myself.

1739
02:37:57,200 --> 02:37:58,500
I know what it's like to miss a meal.

1740
02:37:58,820 --> 02:38:01,640
I know what it's like to have people look down on you.

1741
02:38:01,940 --> 02:38:03,620
Think that you're less than who you are.

1742
02:38:04,040 --> 02:38:07,760
I do have a personal touch with helping people that live on the streets

1743
02:38:07,760 --> 02:38:10,220
and help help them get into a better environment.

1744
02:38:11,700 --> 02:38:13,740
Each homeless person and each person

1745
02:38:13,740 --> 02:38:17,080
has their own set of circumstances, their complex, their histories

1746
02:38:17,080 --> 02:38:18,540
or complex, their backgrounds.

1747
02:38:19,080 --> 02:38:21,080
There is no one-size-fits-all.

1748
02:38:22,810 --> 02:38:28,830
Joining Bill for Zero was about understanding what the data was telling us so that we could

1749
02:38:28,830 --> 02:38:33,890
best align our systems to take advantage of all this new incoming information to make sure

1750
02:38:33,890 --> 02:38:38,430
we can shorten the time people spend homeless and to get people off the street quicker.

1751
02:38:40,110 --> 02:38:45,490
Being able to know everybody by name, being able to have eight agencies working together

1752
02:38:45,490 --> 02:38:52,610
on a weekly basis to find how the resources that they have can pull together to positively

1753
02:38:52,610 --> 02:38:58,050
impact just that one person. It's a unique approach. We all know more intimately

1754
02:38:58,050 --> 02:39:03,390
who everyone else is working with. We know the needs those people have and the barriers they

1755
02:39:03,390 --> 02:39:07,570
face. So it's a more connected system and it's bearing fruit.

1756
02:39:15,180 --> 02:39:18,820
You never know how quickly things

1757
02:39:18,820 --> 02:39:28,560
can change. That's what got me. Oh, technically homeless, I guess. You know, life takes you down,

1758
02:39:28,560 --> 02:39:35,950
different paths and that's the path I got stuck on. I didn't ask for it. This is the first time

1759
02:39:35,950 --> 02:39:43,650
in years I have cut a feeling of security. My social worker here and I will have a lot of

1760
02:39:43,650 --> 02:39:52,770
gratitude and I thank him very much. This man is very much aware of what's available and how to

1761
02:39:53,130 --> 02:39:53,490
work.

1762
02:39:56,540 --> 02:39:58,020
Yeah, that's how I wanted to hear it.

1763
02:40:03,790 --> 02:40:07,990
We are in the last mile of reaching functional zero, the end veterans homelessness.

1764
02:40:17,150 --> 02:40:27,050
When you all have a goal and we're all in agreement that at the end of the day, we're here to move people into housing and we're here to help our veterans. You just have to keep your eye on the goal.

1765
02:40:27,410 --> 02:40:37,070
My fear had always been that data would start to dehumanize or you don't move the faces of the people working with the side, so we could look at the numbers.

1766
02:40:37,070 --> 02:40:38,490
How's another one?

1767
02:40:40,890 --> 02:40:44,250
I couldn't say more that that is further from the truth.

1768
02:40:44,550 --> 02:40:47,990
The data has really driven a lot more humanity in our system as well.

1769
02:40:48,430 --> 02:40:49,670
We need people to feel safe.

1770
02:40:50,550 --> 02:40:54,050
And putting somebody in a home, getting in the basic needs of life,

1771
02:40:54,230 --> 02:40:56,690
is only going to make their lives better and make your community better.

1772
02:40:57,470 --> 02:41:00,350
The more time and equity you build in your community,

1773
02:41:00,850 --> 02:41:02,890
the stronger your community is going to be,

1774
02:41:03,130 --> 02:41:05,070
and happy you are going to be.

1775
02:42:05,900 --> 02:42:13,060
It doesn't take a fairy godmother to tell you that the right fit means everything.

1776
02:42:14,480 --> 02:42:17,040
Especially when it comes to car seats.

1777
02:42:18,600 --> 02:42:23,020
Always choose one that's the right fit for your child's age and size.

1778
02:42:23,100 --> 02:42:25,120
Oh, that does make a difference.

1779
02:42:26,600 --> 02:42:30,140
Remember, they're happily ever afters are in your hands.

1780
02:42:31,060 --> 02:42:35,100
To find out more, visit safercar.gov slash the right seat.

1781
02:42:35,100 --> 02:42:40,260
Did you know the 95% of all wildfires in California are caused by people?

1782
02:42:40,460 --> 02:42:43,200
Be fire safe while working or having fun outdoors.

1783
02:42:43,620 --> 02:42:46,320
Use power equipment outdoors before 10 a.m.

1784
02:42:46,380 --> 02:42:49,460
But never when it's windy or excessively hot outside.

1785
02:42:50,160 --> 02:42:53,360
Make sure your campfires are completely out before leaving the area

1786
02:42:53,360 --> 02:42:57,280
and keep your vehicle maintained with nothing dragging on the ground.

1787
02:42:58,080 --> 02:43:01,140
Remember, one less spark means one less wildfire,

1788
02:43:01,140 --> 02:43:04,420
learn more from Cal Fire at ready for wildfire.org.

1789
02:43:05,160 --> 02:43:10,240
For rural homeowners keeping a well maintained fire safe property not only is the law,

1790
02:43:10,540 --> 02:43:14,740
but can also make a big difference in whether or not their homes are vines when a wildfire approaches.

1791
02:43:15,720 --> 02:43:19,660
But after trimming trees and removing dead leaves and needles to make way for a hundred feet

1792
02:43:19,660 --> 02:43:24,320
of events of space, homeowners are often left with a decision of how best to discard

1793
02:43:24,320 --> 02:43:29,460
of the leftover piles of vegetation. Turning dry landscape to brew like this in the

1794
02:43:29,460 --> 02:43:34,220
or hauling it off the property may be the safest way to dispose of it, but it's not always

1795
02:43:34,220 --> 02:43:39,240
the easiest or even possible. In those cases during certain times of the year and in certain

1796
02:43:39,240 --> 02:43:43,040
parts of the state, homeowners may decide to burn the cuttings instead.

1797
02:43:43,420 --> 02:43:48,300
Well, burn and landscape debris may be an option to residents. It does come with inherent risks.

1798
02:43:48,680 --> 02:43:53,800
That's why Calvire urges residents that do choose to burn their landscape debris to also make

1799
02:43:53,800 --> 02:43:56,280
the choice to burn it safely and legally.

1800
02:43:56,280 --> 02:44:01,740
During specific weather conditions, when we have very low humidity and we have strong winds,

1801
02:44:02,240 --> 02:44:05,600
we will go into burn restrictions or we may even suspend burning.

1802
02:44:05,880 --> 02:44:11,140
Officials say that the current air quality in the area also plays a major factor in whether

1803
02:44:11,140 --> 02:44:12,560
or not burning is allowed.

1804
02:44:13,540 --> 02:44:18,320
Before burning begins, residents should contact their local air quality management agency and

1805
02:44:18,320 --> 02:44:22,600
calfire their local fire station to ensure that it is a permissive burn day.

1806
02:44:22,600 --> 02:44:31,080
But even though it may be a permissive burn day, experts warn it's still important for residents to use good judgment and to stay mindful of current weather conditions.

1807
02:44:31,440 --> 02:44:34,980
Just because it's a permissive burn day, doesn't necessarily mean it's safe to burn.

1808
02:44:35,400 --> 02:44:39,580
If it's windy and the surrounding vegetation is very dry, it's really best not to burn.

1809
02:44:39,820 --> 02:44:45,100
In many areas, homeowners may also be required to get a burn permit from a local fire station before burning.

1810
02:44:45,680 --> 02:44:51,240
After obtaining any necessary permits, and ensuring that Bernie is allowed, the next step

1811
02:44:51,240 --> 02:44:53,480
is to safely prepare the pile for Bernie.

1812
02:44:54,140 --> 02:44:58,080
Burn pile should be no larger than 4 foot by 4 foot, and you need to make sure that you

1813
02:44:58,080 --> 02:44:59,960
have at least a 10 foot diameter clear.

1814
02:45:03,060 --> 02:45:09,240
Residents should keep a ready supply of water and a shovel nearby at all times. Having a responsible

1815
02:45:09,240 --> 02:45:14,640
adult in attendance of your landscape debris burn at all times is required by law. In fact,

1816
02:45:14,800 --> 02:45:19,040
it's a fire gets out of your control. You could be held responsible for the cost of putting

1817
02:45:19,040 --> 02:45:25,100
out the fire. Burning dry landscape debris can be a convenient way to dispose of excess yard waste

1818
02:45:25,100 --> 02:45:30,540
as part of your defensible space plan, but it can be an extremely dangerous one if not done

1819
02:45:30,540 --> 02:45:36,340
responsibly. It's up to you to make sure to take the extra time and attention to always

1820
02:45:36,340 --> 02:45:38,480
be safe with your landscape to be burning.

1821
02:46:04,090 --> 02:46:08,990
Hi, I'm Sheriff Shannon Moon, and even though it just rained, it's important to remember

1822
02:46:08,990 --> 02:46:14,490
we're still in the middle of fire season. Keeping this in mind, your local police chiefs

1823
02:46:14,490 --> 02:46:20,750
I would like to introduce you to a new sound we will be using to notify you in your family

1824
02:46:20,750 --> 02:46:23,010
of an immediate evacuation order.

1825
02:46:24,110 --> 02:46:28,170
This new high-low system will not replace our code-grade notifications.

1826
02:46:28,850 --> 02:46:34,250
It is simply another way in which we can notify you in your family of an emergency in your

1827
02:46:34,250 --> 02:46:34,750
area.

1828
02:46:41,800 --> 02:46:46,020
situational awareness means using all of your senses during an emergency.

1829
02:46:52,560 --> 02:46:58,000
eyes nose and ears. The high-low siren is a new sound to help you stay safe in

1830
02:46:58,000 --> 02:47:03,040
an emergency. It is specifically designed to alert you to an immediate

1831
02:47:03,040 --> 02:47:08,140
evacuation order. If you hear the sound, it means only one thing.

1832
02:47:08,340 --> 02:47:12,160
Evacuate immediately. You will only hear the sound during the evacuation order.

1833
02:47:12,520 --> 02:47:16,820
If time permits, officers and deputies will be responding to your area and using

1834
02:47:16,820 --> 02:47:21,380
PA's and going door to door to do evacuations. But if you hear the sound, you can

1835
02:47:21,380 --> 02:47:24,740
help them in doing their job safely and evacuate the area immediately.

1836
02:47:25,880 --> 02:47:30,380
If you miss the announcement or have questions, please do not call 911.

1837
02:47:31,500 --> 02:47:35,380
Immediately institute your family's evacuation plan.

1838
02:47:36,520 --> 02:47:43,340
Contact 2-1-1 if you have questions or go to a trusted media source once you are safely evacuated.

1839
02:47:45,160 --> 02:47:47,860
Remember, 911 is only for emergencies.

1840
02:47:47,860 --> 02:47:52,540
The Nevada County Sheriff's Office, Grass Valley Police Department, and Nevada City Police

1841
02:47:52,540 --> 02:47:55,180
Department have all installed these sirens in their patrol vehicles.

1842
02:47:55,740 --> 02:47:59,780
So if you hear this siren, it means one thing and one thing only evacuated and evacuated

1843
02:47:59,780 --> 02:48:00,300
immediately.

1844
02:48:01,160 --> 02:48:07,340
Nevada County is now part of a special pilot program, instituted by Napa County to be better

1845
02:48:07,340 --> 02:48:13,540
prepared for evacuations, state, regional, and local officials who made this happen.

1846
02:48:13,540 --> 02:48:17,780
Now welcome you, our community members, to the team.

1847
02:48:18,680 --> 02:48:21,540
Your job, know the sound and know what it means.

1848
02:48:22,700 --> 02:48:23,220
Evacuate.

1849
02:48:24,700 --> 02:48:25,220
Evacuate.

1850
02:48:28,440 --> 02:48:28,960
Evacuate.

1851
02:48:41,650 --> 02:48:44,950
So one of the major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire.

1852
02:48:45,570 --> 02:48:49,570
And so while you're down visiting the Ube River, consider the fire threat.

1853
02:48:50,010 --> 02:48:54,510
Know that on a red flag day especially, a fast-moving wildfire can get out of control.

1854
02:48:54,510 --> 02:49:00,830
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down

1855
02:49:00,830 --> 02:49:03,270
the canyon and integrates while you're in the baddest city.

1856
02:49:03,570 --> 02:49:06,690
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there.

1857
02:49:06,990 --> 02:49:11,710
Please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes

1858
02:49:11,710 --> 02:49:14,370
and other products like that that could start a fire.

1859
02:49:14,710 --> 02:49:17,190
So when you're down here, pay attention to your surroundings.

1860
02:49:17,710 --> 02:49:19,830
Know that while you're down here, you're self-unmate outward.

1861
02:49:20,390 --> 02:49:22,650
We do have call boxes for you to call out.

1862
02:49:22,650 --> 02:49:30,170
If there's a fire, should a fire occur in the canyon, you need to be moving quickly away from it,

1863
02:49:30,330 --> 02:49:36,310
and don't wait for us to fly over, don't wait for an edge of the companies if you see it,

1864
02:49:36,510 --> 02:49:41,370
get away from it, move up the canyon, move out of the way of it because it's going to be congested

1865
02:49:41,370 --> 02:49:46,630
at the trail ahead trying to get out. So have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely,

1866
02:49:46,990 --> 02:49:51,730
and know that evacuations may take longer on those hot summer days if there's a fire in the river

1867
02:49:52,290 --> 02:49:56,970
Think about things like evacuation, how am I going to get out if I fire where to kick off?

1868
02:49:57,270 --> 02:49:59,970
Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather, and so far.

1869
02:50:09,860 --> 02:50:24,840
Hello, I'm Jamie and I'm one of the faces of Nevada County Public Health. I'd like to tell you about one of our health and wellness programs, oral health, oral health refers to the entire mouth, including tooth decay, gum disease and more.

1870
02:50:24,840 --> 02:50:30,720
Why is oral health important because it is related to every working system of the body?

1871
02:50:31,300 --> 02:50:39,520
Long conditions, cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes can all be traced to bacteria and inflammation from the mouth.

1872
02:50:40,100 --> 02:50:45,280
The good news is that good oral health habits can prevent many potential health problems.

1873
02:50:45,280 --> 02:50:53,240
Brush two times a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, and see your dentist every six months.

1874
02:50:53,920 --> 02:50:59,340
Prevention starts early. Children should see the dentist by their first tooth or first birthday.

1875
02:50:59,800 --> 02:51:02,800
This will pave the way to better help for your child.

1876
02:51:03,460 --> 02:51:09,720
For more information go to www.smilenevaticcounty.com.

1877
02:51:11,790 --> 02:51:13,790
We're here. We're here.

1878
02:51:14,730 --> 02:51:15,650
We're here.

1879
02:51:15,650 --> 02:51:17,850
We're here for you, Nevada County.

1880
02:51:18,470 --> 02:51:21,770
As the library, we've strived to provide the best service

1881
02:51:21,770 --> 02:51:24,230
we can during the COVID-19 health crisis.

1882
02:51:25,050 --> 02:51:28,990
This includes providing e-books, audiobooks, movies,

1883
02:51:29,630 --> 02:51:33,970
and TV shows online for you to use with your library card.

1884
02:51:34,550 --> 02:51:38,650
We're offering curbside pickup of library items like books and DVDs,

1885
02:51:39,390 --> 02:51:42,730
as well as grad beds with crafts and activities for all ages.

1886
02:51:42,730 --> 02:51:49,330
We also have your favorite programs, like book clubs and story times available online.

1887
02:51:49,690 --> 02:51:51,430
We are here for you to have that acrostic.

1888
02:51:52,050 --> 02:51:54,850
Apply for your library card on our website today.

1889
02:51:57,900 --> 02:51:59,140
The River gives us a challenge.

1890
02:51:59,720 --> 02:52:02,680
This year, particularly with the Spalding Dam Issues,

1891
02:52:02,860 --> 02:52:06,040
is that the water is now is unregulated coming down to South Uber River.

1892
02:52:06,720 --> 02:52:11,500
So we can get fluctuations where you could be in the middle of the river in the morning,

1893
02:52:11,500 --> 02:52:18,020
Standing on a rock high and dry and then in the afternoon you can be knee deep in water and it all depends on how much

1894
02:52:18,020 --> 02:52:23,240
Sheet they have that's going to melt the snow that's going to come into the Lake Spalding and that's going to spill over the dam

1895
02:52:23,240 --> 02:52:29,020
Being aware that change can happen and being aware when it's happening to be able to move to higher ground

1896
02:52:29,020 --> 02:52:31,580
So that you're safe and your family is safe

1897
02:52:31,580 --> 02:52:36,460
So what you should do to get caught in the river is to make sure that you stay calm

1898
02:52:36,460 --> 02:52:39,620
Make your feet forward, down river.

1899
02:52:39,940 --> 02:52:42,240
That's the biggest part of skiing, your feet down river.

1900
02:52:42,520 --> 02:52:44,880
And if you have to flow, you go with the flow of the river.

1901
02:52:45,200 --> 02:52:48,160
Look out ahead of you, look for any ways to escape,

1902
02:52:48,520 --> 02:52:51,580
any access out, any tree branches hanging over,

1903
02:52:51,780 --> 02:52:53,460
yell for help, and stay calm.

1904
02:52:53,520 --> 02:52:55,080
That's the number one thing to stay calm.

1905
02:52:55,620 --> 02:53:00,220
But the biggest part is understand that what's important is being safe.

1906
02:53:01,200 --> 02:53:03,720
The more water is in the river,

1907
02:53:03,720 --> 02:53:07,720
The more risk there is, the more hazard there is for somebody that's swimming.

1908
02:53:08,040 --> 02:53:12,220
The harder it's going to be to move around, the more easily you could get knocked over,

1909
02:53:12,380 --> 02:53:17,020
slip the fall into the river, and generally speaking, the colder the water is going to be, as well.

1910
02:53:36,260 --> 02:53:38,080
Now that accounting may be naturally stunning.

1911
02:53:38,800 --> 02:53:40,960
But we'll take a good look at what makes it so special.

1912
02:53:41,500 --> 02:53:42,200
It's not searing.

1913
02:53:42,960 --> 02:53:43,520
It's the people.

1914
02:53:46,060 --> 02:53:50,120
The employees of Nevada County are great people, working together to support the County,

1915
02:53:50,680 --> 02:53:52,280
our residents and visitors.

1916
02:53:52,280 --> 02:53:59,080
A. The Garcia believes that building a strong community in England is doing things right from the beginning because it improves your return on investment.

1917
02:54:00,700 --> 02:54:04,280
Given how critical transportation is to every community's quality of life,

1918
02:54:04,640 --> 02:54:07,620
the only thing that makes sense today to apply that approach to Nevada County,

1919
02:54:07,960 --> 02:54:10,520
as transportation planner for the Department of Public Works,

1920
02:54:17,650 --> 02:54:21,110
really Sebastian Roberts loves the outdoors and the rush of pushing himself

1921
02:54:21,110 --> 02:54:26,270
as the county senior information systems analyst for our geographic information systems,

1922
02:54:26,270 --> 02:54:30,270
These are possible for advancing mapping technology for the county and the community.

1923
02:54:30,550 --> 02:54:33,490
Sebastian, along with the rest of our information system staff,

1924
02:54:34,050 --> 02:54:39,230
are continually working to provide easy access for residents to all county services and information

1925
02:54:39,230 --> 02:54:41,770
from trail maps for planning documents.

1926
02:54:44,280 --> 02:54:46,780
Nancy Halfi is a management analyst in human resources.

1927
02:54:47,580 --> 02:54:50,520
Nancy's expertise is critical to the human resources department,

1928
02:54:50,920 --> 02:54:55,620
but she provides the necessary training, guidance, and assistance to better the county's workforce.

1929
02:54:55,620 --> 02:54:59,800
Her work frustrers the kinds of talent and professionals and necessary to keep Nevada

1930
02:55:00,050 --> 02:55:06,150
Sign on the forefront of delivering superior services. People listen to the answer. They're not just on the job.

1931
02:55:08,570 --> 02:55:12,970
Our county is rich with history and culture that has been mined from a great people for over a century.

1932
02:55:15,330 --> 02:55:33,130
People listen to Robin Kennedy too. She takes her role as a deputy probation officer series, which she knows the community relies on her for protection. And her clients rely on her for the support they need to get back on the right path. Robin knows how important it is for people to pursue personal growth and change, and she includes herself in that

1933
02:55:33,130 --> 02:55:39,130
philosophy. A collaborative approach by local agencies and community partners is responsible

1934
02:55:39,130 --> 02:55:41,090
for Nevada County's low crime rate,

1935
02:55:44,810 --> 02:55:47,330
and well-low-pass helps folks overcome life's most difficult

1936
02:55:47,330 --> 02:55:51,250
challenges. As well as helping them on the path to empowerment,

1937
02:55:55,690 --> 02:55:57,090
is people like him there at the core

1938
02:55:57,090 --> 02:56:04,960
of our county. As a social services eligibility supervisor, men allow seats every day to potential

1939
02:56:04,960 --> 02:56:08,060
in people and the power of helping him.

1940
02:56:10,700 --> 02:56:13,440
For the east, the county continues its commitment to health

1941
02:56:13,440 --> 02:56:16,980
wellness programs, the strength and families, and promote healthy lifestyle,

1942
02:56:41,150 --> 02:56:41,590
and it provides

1943
02:56:41,590 --> 02:56:47,430
the foundation for our nearly 800 employees, and we continue to provide opportunities for

1944
02:56:47,430 --> 02:56:49,270
lifelong learning to all our business.

1945
02:56:59,640 --> 02:57:02,060
With so many people behind the scenes of Nevada County,

1946
02:57:02,480 --> 02:57:06,140
a fundamental motivation is going to go way beyond the office when it comes to preserving our

1947
02:57:06,140 --> 02:57:14,020
lifestyle. Like Josh Patton's twin boys. Josh is Nevada County's principal civil engineer,

1948
02:57:14,020 --> 02:57:16,600
and that position brings with it a great deal of responsibility.

1949
02:57:18,220 --> 02:57:22,040
Josh has knowledge, experience, and commitment in his service to the county's physical

1950
02:57:22,040 --> 02:57:23,560
infrastructure and beyond.

1951
02:57:32,120 --> 02:57:35,040
Player Chapel, environment, and specialists with environmental health

1952
02:57:35,040 --> 02:57:36,680
works closely with local businesses.

1953
02:57:37,280 --> 02:57:38,600
The business owners look at Claire.

1954
02:57:38,980 --> 02:57:40,160
They don't see an impediment.

1955
02:57:40,500 --> 02:57:43,200
They see a partner helping them on their way to success.

1956
02:57:43,540 --> 02:57:45,640
They used to gather, they make their businesses stronger.

1957
02:57:46,540 --> 02:57:46,920
They really?

1958
02:57:47,400 --> 02:57:48,640
That's what all of this is about.

1959
02:57:49,740 --> 02:57:55,100
Our airport and transit systems play vital roles in the economic and recreational health of the community.

1960
02:57:55,440 --> 02:57:59,840
Our founders in the national and rural responsibilities are local government would have to assume

1961
02:57:59,840 --> 02:58:01,760
and we are committed to meeting the changing needs.

1962
02:58:05,650 --> 02:58:11,190
The Vatican has not gotten to where it is by being satisfied, which brings us to the same simple trip.

1963
02:58:11,610 --> 02:58:14,990
We look for the home team, because we are the home team.

1964
02:58:15,970 --> 02:58:18,710
We are in Nevada County, achieving more.

1965
02:58:29,750 --> 02:58:36,930
What people should not bring to the river is alcohol, a barbecue, anything that has an open flame.

1966
02:58:37,730 --> 02:58:42,910
Any type of glass containers, bag glass containers that you're carrying can very easily

1967
02:58:42,910 --> 02:58:47,170
shatter on the rocks and it becomes a hazard for not only you but other people at the river.

1968
02:58:47,550 --> 02:58:51,930
If you're coming to the river that's wonderful, enjoy it, it's an incredibly magical place.

1969
02:58:52,310 --> 02:58:55,870
But take all of the trash that you brought with you, everything that you brought.

1970
02:58:55,870 --> 02:59:01,190
bring that back out with you, odds are you're going to see some bottles or a pan or something

1971
02:59:01,190 --> 02:59:08,210
like that take that with you and please please pick up after your pets. In addition to kind of

1972
02:59:08,210 --> 02:59:12,850
picking up trash because of aesthetic reasons, we're also really worried about trash,

1973
02:59:13,090 --> 02:59:16,890
you know, the plastics and things like that and also the dog waste for the health of the environment

1974
02:59:16,890 --> 02:59:21,630
because if you don't it's just going to end up in the river and it's bad for human health, it's bad

1975
02:59:21,630 --> 02:59:23,630
about the environment as well.

1976
02:59:47,960 --> 02:59:51,260

1984
03:00:37,580 --> 03:00:41,420
This document can be used to pay for your school and fire fees during the building permit process.

1985
03:00:42,080 --> 03:00:46,460
Plans are then routed to the designated departments, buildings, planning, environmental

1986
03:00:46,460 --> 03:00:49,080
health, and the Department of Public Works, if applicable.

1987
03:00:50,000 --> 03:00:52,600
For a single family home to the planned review takes four weeks.

1988
03:00:53,160 --> 03:00:57,440
On a side note, home additions and remodels less than a thousand square feet is two week review.

1989
03:00:57,440 --> 03:01:02,920
We do have an award-winning over-the-counter Wednesday planned review process for additions and remodels

1990
03:01:02,920 --> 03:01:06,060
less than 600 square feet, some restrictions do apply.

1991
03:01:06,860 --> 03:01:11,160
A keynote went a plan online for your single-family home, her plans to calculate who shall be

1992
03:01:11,160 --> 03:01:13,220
uploaded separately in two PDF files.

1993
03:01:13,880 --> 03:01:19,040
After we receive your digital file, plans to review, forgiveness, fees are calculated, and

1994
03:01:19,040 --> 03:01:21,340
any most NTU specified in the amount to be paid.

What your fees are paid plans are then routed to the designated departments.

1996
03:01:25,380 --> 03:01:31,020
The plans examiner will review your plans for local, land-use ordinances and stakeholder compliance.

1997
03:01:31,620 --> 03:01:36,720
Planning and environmental health will review buildings at back, septic system, and world-water information.

1998
03:01:37,400 --> 03:01:41,880
The building department will review site plans, floor plans, and elevation plans to name a few.

1999
03:01:42,520 --> 03:01:49,760
Additional specific documents like engineering calculations, trust calculations, and special inspection forms may also be required for review.

I recommend you access our Billy Department handout library for the 2016 residential

2004
03:02:39,630 --> 03:02:43,330
plan review checklist. This form is helpful in determining what type of building

2005
03:02:43,330 --> 03:02:48,130
comments to expect doing a plan review process. As a plan review process progresses, it is

2006
03:02:48,130 --> 03:02:52,470
up to you to track and check the status of your building permit. When plan review comments are

2007
03:02:52,470 --> 03:02:57,450
generated, a PDF file is created and uploaded into your building permit. To check your

2008
03:02:57,450 --> 03:03:03,050
comments online, access the SLS citizen access portal program. In your permit you'll find

2009
03:03:03,050 --> 03:03:08,910
comments under the permit info tab. As a PDF document located under attachments, you may also

2013
03:03:25,170 --> 03:03:30,810
This letter is essential in getting your permit expedited through the plan for your process and stamped approved.

2014
03:03:32,410 --> 03:03:38,230
Plans that are approved digitally, please print one set of plans and calculations that bring the door office so we can stamp them job set.

2015
03:03:38,970 --> 03:03:42,930

2016
03:03:42,930 --> 03:03:47,210
Common in-peck fees or school in-fire and a coaching permit fees if applicable.

2017
03:03:48,210 --> 03:03:50,510
When copies of school in-fire fee received are provided,

2018
03:03:50,770 --> 03:03:54,370
a yellow inspection card will be generated and your stamp plans will be issued.

2019
03:03:56,460 --> 03:03:58,120
Congratulations, you ready to build.

2020
03:04:04,660 --> 03:04:07,780
After your building permit is issued, your permit will expire in six months

2021
03:04:07,780 --> 03:04:11,520
or when your extra project is above the 5,000 foot elevation.

2022
03:04:12,240 --> 03:04:16,780
To keep your building permit active, every pass inspection will extend your permit for an additional six months.

2023
03:04:16,780 --> 03:04:20,380
Building permits will expire in two years if construction is not completed.

2024
03:04:21,020 --> 03:04:23,720
To schedule your inspections, see our building apartment homepage?

2025
03:04:24,600 --> 03:04:28,900
On the day of your inspection, you may contact our receptionist to find out when the inspector will arrive.

2026
03:04:29,580 --> 03:04:30,920
Generally within a two-hour window.

2027
03:04:31,600 --> 03:04:37,280
During the construction phase building inspection will conduct unsight inspections to verify that all work is performed according to plans.

2028
03:04:38,020 --> 03:04:42,040
Any changes or revisions in the field must be reviewed and approved prior to the next inspection.

2029
03:04:42,580 --> 03:04:45,180
It's important to have your plans in its inspection card on site.

2030
03:04:45,700 --> 03:04:49,680
After the work has been infected and approved, the building spectrum will sign the permit card.

2031
03:04:50,820 --> 03:04:56,000
If corrections are noted by the inspector, the inspector will leave the correction notice and request for another inspection.

2032
03:04:56,540 --> 03:04:59,960
To assist with some correction items, like a foundation inspection or...

2033
03:05:17,100 --> 03:05:22,700
A final inspection

2034
03:05:25,840 --> 03:05:29,900
of your new home is required prior to receiving the certificate of occupancy and move in.

2035
03:05:30,400 --> 03:05:33,120
If you have a separate system, please schedule an environmental health inspection.

2036
03:05:33,120 --> 03:05:37,440
to sign up your inspection card prior to your final inspection. When you're building

2037
03:05:37,440 --> 03:05:41,900
inspector verify your project is complete, you will sign up the building final and the

2038
03:05:41,900 --> 03:05:46,480
certificate of occupancy section of your inspection card. This will allow you to move in.

2039
03:05:47,160 --> 03:05:50,720
Congratulations! I hope this video on how to apply for a single family home with helpful.

2040
03:05:51,440 --> 03:05:56,160
For more in-depth research, please log on to our website at mindavatichunting.com. Thank you for watching.

2041
03:06:16,100 --> 03:06:21,460
The parking lot here at the Uber River are very limited and obviously we don't have room for tons

2042
03:06:21,460 --> 03:06:24,940
of people here are often. So people have to park on the side of the highway and the highway

2043
03:06:24,940 --> 03:06:29,400
here is an active state highway. It's a vital artery to people in three different counties.

2044
03:06:29,820 --> 03:06:33,560
When we have medical emergencies or any other kind of emergencies in this area, the access is always

2045
03:06:33,560 --> 03:06:38,100
key and it's always very difficult to get in these areas with fire apparatus and equipment. So to have

2046
03:06:38,100 --> 03:06:42,800
that ability to maneuver into a park and to get to somebody you need quickly is very important.

2047
03:06:43,140 --> 03:06:46,760
Financial cost for parking citations is in the hundreds of dollars, especially for these areas.

2048
03:06:46,760 --> 03:06:51,300
The county has enhanced some of the finds for specific parking zones in this area.

2049
03:06:51,420 --> 03:06:54,820
So it is very expensive and it goes basically on your vehicle registration.

2050
03:06:55,180 --> 03:07:01,540
So if you don't end up paying that parking citation, it's going to end up on you later on when you pay your fees with DMV.

2051
03:07:02,200 --> 03:07:09,500
So on the weekends, expect long lines, not a lot of parking, a lot of people, a lot of foot traffic on the roads,

2052
03:07:09,700 --> 03:07:15,720
be very cautious when they're driving down towards the river, and I think the biggest thing is just to be patients.

2053
03:07:15,720 --> 03:07:22,600
understand that it's going to take time to actually park safely walk down to the river and enjoy.

2054
03:07:23,040 --> 03:07:26,100
So patience is something you have to bring.

2055
03:07:31,840 --> 03:07:36,620
Did you know the 95% of all wildfires in California are caused by people?

2056
03:07:37,000 --> 03:07:39,720
Be fire safe while working or having fun outdoors.

2057
03:07:40,420 --> 03:07:43,820
Learn how from calvier and ready for wildfire.org.

2058
03:07:57,420 --> 03:08:00,580
But domesticated human family in the natural habitat,

2059
03:08:00,580 --> 03:08:03,400
No, to their species, has the back yard.

2060
03:08:03,580 --> 03:08:04,780
Do you think I should light it now?

2061
03:08:05,000 --> 03:08:05,560
I think so.

2062
03:08:07,080 --> 03:08:09,780
Oh dear, someone is about to burn a pile of debris.

2063
03:08:10,180 --> 03:08:10,900
That's too tall.

2064
03:08:11,160 --> 03:08:12,640
Which can start wildfire.

2065
03:08:17,720 --> 03:08:18,460
My head is.

2066
03:08:18,600 --> 03:08:19,180
It's not it.

2067
03:08:19,240 --> 03:08:19,980
It's my people.

2068
03:08:20,840 --> 03:08:21,340
What a legend.

2069
03:08:22,240 --> 03:08:23,560
Hey, it's not here.

2070
03:08:23,860 --> 03:08:25,220
Sorry, it's too high.

2071
03:08:25,740 --> 03:08:25,900
Right.

2072
03:08:26,180 --> 03:08:29,100
Watch as he is too plain sure that there's no wind.

2073
03:08:29,580 --> 03:08:31,380
And how he will move some of the debris

2074
03:08:31,380 --> 03:08:33,980
to create a smaller, safer, burning pile.

2075
03:08:33,980 --> 03:08:35,420
You can't make it.

2076
03:08:35,420 --> 03:08:36,400
No, you can't make it.

2077
03:08:36,640 --> 03:08:37,500
It's a big enough.

2078
03:08:37,820 --> 03:08:39,420
Take notes, my beloved fellow,

2079
03:08:39,540 --> 03:08:40,820
my friend, your newest.

2080
03:08:41,080 --> 03:08:42,080
I appreciate it.

2081
03:08:42,500 --> 03:08:43,220
First one.

2082
03:08:44,520 --> 03:08:45,760
Ha-ha-ha-ha.

2083
03:08:45,920 --> 03:08:47,060
What's it, you think?

2084
03:08:47,540 --> 03:08:48,820
Smokey's done it again.

2085
03:08:49,580 --> 03:08:49,780
Take it.

2086
03:08:49,780 --> 03:08:50,140
Foresfolk it.

2087
03:08:51,620 --> 03:08:54,580
Only you can prevent wildfires.

2088
03:08:57,150 --> 03:08:59,610
Hi, I'm Krising at the knee with Cal Fire.

2089
03:09:00,490 --> 03:09:02,070
Our beautiful state of California

2090
03:09:02,070 --> 03:09:05,030
is blessed with abundant recreation opportunities.

2091
03:09:05,030 --> 03:09:09,110
This is especially true in the forested areas around our state.

2092
03:09:09,910 --> 03:09:15,190
But following years of severe drought in bark beetle infestation are forests or suffering.

2093
03:09:15,570 --> 03:09:21,730
And these dead trees pose a significant falling hazard and wildfire risk to those recreating

2094
03:09:21,730 --> 03:09:22,430
outdoors.

2095
03:09:22,690 --> 03:09:29,130
I'd like to provide some safety tips to protect you, your family, and the unique natural

2096
03:09:29,130 --> 03:09:34,850
resources of the state of California, be aware of standing dead trees and avoid

2097
03:09:34,850 --> 03:09:42,450
dense stands of dead trees. Take time to look up around you. Are the leaves or needles on the tree

2098
03:09:42,450 --> 03:09:49,550
brown or missing? Do you see numerous dead branches? Is the bark sloughing off or missing entirely?

2099
03:09:50,490 --> 03:09:58,690
Or do you see signs of rot in the tree? Is the top of the tree dead? Don't ever camp, picnic, or park your car,

2100
03:09:58,690 --> 03:09:59,810
under or near.

2101
03:10:00,000 --> 03:10:11,000
Medveded or Dying Trees, millions of dead trees, also significantly increase our risk of wildfire, 95% of all wildfires are caused by human activity.

2102
03:10:11,960 --> 03:10:16,840
When it comes to having an open campfire, be sure they're allowed at your location.

2103
03:10:18,100 --> 03:10:28,300
And if required, get a permit. Permits are available online. While building a campfire, clear flammable vegetation at least 10 feet from around the ring of the fire.

2104
03:10:28,300 --> 03:10:35,280
Make sure that you always have a shovel and bucket of water nearby and never leave your campfire unattended.

2105
03:10:36,020 --> 03:10:39,440
Before leaving your campfire, make sure that you extinguish it completely.

2106
03:10:40,480 --> 03:10:43,700
Use the drown, stir and feel method.

2107
03:10:44,400 --> 03:10:48,400
Drown your campfire with water, stir it with a shovel and finally,

2108
03:10:49,040 --> 03:10:51,720
feel to make sure that there's no heat coming off of your fire.

2109
03:10:52,140 --> 03:10:55,380
So remember, all it takes is one spark.

2110
03:10:56,160 --> 03:11:02,400
Unattended or improperly extinguished campfires have started many large and damaging fires throughout the state of California.

2111
03:11:03,360 --> 03:11:06,700
Being outside in nature should be relaxing and enjoyable.

2112
03:11:07,340 --> 03:11:10,560
In applying these simple safety precautions will help protect yourself,

2113
03:11:11,380 --> 03:11:15,760
your family, and may make the difference in preventing the next large wildfire.

2114
03:11:16,380 --> 03:11:20,740
For more information, please visit ready for wildfire.org.

2115
03:11:28,040 --> 03:11:33,040
So one of the major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire, and so while

2116
03:11:33,040 --> 03:11:36,740
you're down visiting the Yuba River, consider the fire threat.

2117
03:11:37,140 --> 03:11:41,780
Know that on a red flag day, especially a fast-moving wildfire can get out of control.

2118
03:11:42,520 --> 03:11:48,560
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the canyon

2119
03:11:48,560 --> 03:11:50,400
and integrates while in Nevada City.

2120
03:11:50,720 --> 03:11:53,840
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there.

2121
03:11:53,840 --> 03:11:58,860
Please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes

2122
03:11:58,860 --> 03:12:03,540
and other products like that that could start a fire. So when you're down here, pay attention

2123
03:12:03,540 --> 03:12:08,160
to your surroundings. Know that while you're down here, you're self-employment outward. We do have

2124
03:12:08,160 --> 03:12:13,520
call boxes for you to call out if there's a fire. You should a fire occur in the canyon.

2125
03:12:14,400 --> 03:12:23,820
You need to be moving quickly away from it and don't wait for us to fly over. Don't wait for

2126
03:12:23,820 --> 03:12:28,560
away from it, move up the canyon, move out of the way of it, because it's going to be congested

2127
03:12:28,560 --> 03:12:30,320
at the trail ahead trying to get out.

2128
03:12:30,800 --> 03:12:35,820
So have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely and know that evacuations may take

2129
03:12:35,820 --> 03:12:39,200
longer on those hot summer days if there's a fire in the river can.

2130
03:12:39,640 --> 03:12:44,160
Think about things like evacuation, how am I going to get out different fireware to kick off?

2131
03:12:44,460 --> 03:12:48,660
Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather, and topography, it's important that

2132
03:12:48,660 --> 03:12:51,860
you do your part to prevent wildfires in the river can.

2133
03:12:58,350 --> 03:13:02,570
In Nevada County, defensible space is a year-round effort.

2134
03:13:03,810 --> 03:13:06,950
For much or stone recovery, to prepare for wildfire season,

2135
03:13:07,530 --> 03:13:09,510
resilience takes a united community.

2136
03:13:11,010 --> 03:13:14,230
Create defensible space around your home, property, or business

2137
03:13:14,230 --> 03:13:17,750
to get first responders a chance to protect what matters most.

2138
03:13:18,730 --> 03:13:19,990
We are all in this together.

2140
03:13:30,380 --> 03:13:31,580
The river gives us a challenge.

2141
03:13:31,580 --> 03:13:38,440
This year, particularly with the spawning damn issues is that the water is now is unregulated coming down to South Uber River

2142
03:13:38,940 --> 03:13:47,080
So we can get fluctuations where you could be in the middle of the river in the morning standing on a rock high and dry and then in the afternoon

2143
03:13:47,080 --> 03:13:52,380
You can be knee-deep in water and it all depends on how much heat they have that's gonna melt the snow

2144
03:13:52,380 --> 03:13:55,600
That's gonna come into the lake spawning and that's gonna spill over the dam

2145
03:13:55,600 --> 03:14:01,340
Being aware that change can happen and being aware when it's happening to be able to move the higher ground

2146
03:14:01,580 --> 03:14:03,920
so that you're safe and your family is safe.

2147
03:14:04,440 --> 03:14:06,420
So what you should do if you get caught in the river

2148
03:14:06,420 --> 03:14:08,880
is to make sure that you stay calm,

2149
03:14:09,380 --> 03:14:12,020
make your feet forward down river.

2150
03:14:12,360 --> 03:14:14,680
That's the biggest part is getting your feet down river.

2151
03:14:14,960 --> 03:14:17,380
And if you have to flow, you go with the flow of the river.

2152
03:14:17,640 --> 03:14:20,600
Look out ahead of you, look for any ways to escape,

2153
03:14:20,960 --> 03:14:23,960
any access out, any tree branches hanging over,

2154
03:14:24,220 --> 03:14:25,900
yell for help and stay calm.

2155
03:14:25,900 --> 03:14:27,660
That's the number one thing is stay calm.

2156
03:14:28,060 --> 03:14:30,120
But the biggest part is understand that

2157
03:14:30,120 --> 03:14:37,900
what's important is being safe. The more water is in the river, the more risk there is,

2158
03:14:38,000 --> 03:14:42,200
the more hazard there is for somebody that's swimming. The harder it's going to be to move around,

2159
03:14:42,580 --> 03:14:47,140
the more easily you could get knocked over, slip and fall into the river, and generally speaking,

2160
03:14:47,140 --> 03:14:49,700
the colder the water is going to be as well.

2161
03:14:57,420 --> 03:14:59,940
What people should not bring to the river is help.

2162
03:15:01,080 --> 03:15:14,180
A barbeque, anything that has an open flame, any type of glass containers, bag glass containers that you're carrying, can very easily shatter on the rocks and becomes a hazard for not only you but other people of the river.

2163
03:15:14,520 --> 03:15:25,160
If you're coming to the river that's wonderful and joyed, it's an incredibly magical place, but take all of the trash that you've brought with you everything that you've brought, bring that back out with you.

2164
03:15:25,160 --> 03:15:29,860
odds are you're going to see some bottles or a pan or something like that take that with you.

2165
03:15:29,980 --> 03:15:32,880
And please, please, please pick up after your pets.

2166
03:15:33,440 --> 03:15:38,840
In addition to kind of picking a trash because of aesthetic reasons, we're also really

2167
03:15:38,840 --> 03:15:39,880
worried about trash.

2168
03:15:40,080 --> 03:15:43,380
You know, the plastics and things like that and also the dog waste for the health of the

2169
03:15:43,380 --> 03:15:43,880
environment.

2170
03:15:44,060 --> 03:15:47,860
Because if you don't, it's just going to end up in the river and it's bad for human

2171
03:15:47,860 --> 03:15:48,180
health.

2172
03:15:48,360 --> 03:15:50,180
It's bad for the environment as well.

2173
03:15:58,400 --> 03:16:02,720
The parking lots here at the Uber River are very limited and obviously we don't have

2174
03:16:02,720 --> 03:16:07,060
room for tons of people here often. So people have to park on the side of the highway and the

2175
03:16:07,060 --> 03:16:11,720
highway here is an active state highway. It's a vital artery to people in three different counties.

2176
03:16:12,180 --> 03:16:15,860
When we have medical emergencies or any other kind of emergency in this area, the access is always

2177
03:16:15,860 --> 03:16:20,400
key and it's always very difficult to get in these areas with fire apparatus and equipment. So they have

2178
03:16:20,400 --> 03:16:25,060
that ability to maneuver and to park and to get to somebody in need quickly is very important.

2179
03:16:25,500 --> 03:16:29,060
Financial cost for parking citations is in the hundreds of dollars, especially for these areas.

2180
03:16:29,060 --> 03:16:33,600
The county has enhanced some of the finds for specific parking zones in this area.

2181
03:16:33,720 --> 03:16:37,100
So it is very expensive and it goes basically on your vehicle registration.

2182
03:16:37,500 --> 03:16:43,780
So if you don't end up paying that parking citation, it's gonna end up on you later on when you pay your fees to DMV.

2183
03:16:44,500 --> 03:16:49,560
So on the weekends, expect long lines, not a lot of parking, a lot of people,

2184
03:16:50,400 --> 03:16:55,000
a lot of foot traffic on the roads, be very cautious when you're driving down towards the river.

2185
03:16:55,000 --> 03:16:58,000
And I think the biggest thing is just to be patient.

2186
03:16:58,400 --> 03:17:04,940
I understand that it's going to take time to actually park, safely, walk down to the river and enjoy.

2187
03:17:05,320 --> 03:17:08,100
So, patience is something you have to bring.

2188
03:17:24,080 --> 03:17:27,610
Observe the domesticated human family in the natural habitat.

2189
03:17:28,400 --> 03:17:30,560
No, to this species has the backyard.

2190
03:17:30,920 --> 03:17:32,220
Do you think it's related now?

2191
03:17:32,420 --> 03:17:33,680
Yes, yes.

2192
03:17:34,540 --> 03:17:40,140
Odeo, someone is about to burn one of the brain that's too tall, which can start a wildfire.

2193
03:17:42,590 --> 03:17:42,870
Wait.

2194
03:17:43,630 --> 03:17:44,350
What could it be?

2195
03:17:45,070 --> 03:17:46,110
My idea is...

2196
03:17:46,110 --> 03:17:46,630
It's not here.

2197
03:17:46,670 --> 03:17:47,510
It's my people.

2198
03:17:48,270 --> 03:17:48,790
What a legend.

2199
03:17:49,630 --> 03:17:50,990
Hey, it's not here.

2200
03:17:51,290 --> 03:17:52,790
Sorry, it's too high.

2201
03:17:53,130 --> 03:17:53,630
Right now.

2202
03:17:53,630 --> 03:17:56,530
Watch as he is too clean, sure, isn't that there's no wind.

2203
03:17:56,990 --> 03:18:01,410
And how he will move some of the debris to commit a solar safe or burn part?

2204
03:18:01,410 --> 03:18:02,830
You think about it now.

2205
03:18:03,110 --> 03:18:05,170
You can't make it being the baby, the bigger the better.

2206
03:18:05,170 --> 03:18:08,250
Take note of our fear as far as we friend to our humans.

2207
03:18:08,650 --> 03:18:09,710
I appreciate it.

2208
03:18:09,930 --> 03:18:10,770
First of all.

2209
03:18:15,050 --> 03:18:16,350
Smokey's done it again.

2210
03:18:17,030 --> 03:18:18,070
Fire's buggy.

2211
03:18:19,230 --> 03:18:22,030
Only you can prevent wildfires.

2212
03:18:27,240 --> 03:18:28,420
The river gives us a challenge.

2213
03:18:28,920 --> 03:18:31,920
This year, particularly with the spawning dam issues,

2214
03:18:31,940 --> 03:18:35,260
is that the water is now is unregulated coming down to South Uber River.

2215
03:18:36,080 --> 03:18:39,000
So we can get fluctuations where you could be

2216
03:18:39,000 --> 03:18:43,960
In the middle of the river in the morning, standing on a rock high and dry, and then in the afternoon,

2217
03:18:44,160 --> 03:18:49,380
you can be knee-deep in water, and it all depends on how much heat they have that's going to melt the snow,

2218
03:18:49,660 --> 03:18:52,300
that's going to come into the lake's falling, and that's going to spill over the dam.

2219
03:18:52,940 --> 03:18:58,420
Being aware that change can happen and being aware when it's happening to be able to move to higher ground

2220
03:18:58,420 --> 03:19:00,740
so that you're safe and your family is safe.

2221
03:19:01,300 --> 03:19:05,640
So what you should do if you get caught in the river is to make sure that you stay calm,

2222
03:19:05,640 --> 03:19:11,560
make your feet forward down river, that's the biggest part is getting your feet down river

2223
03:19:11,560 --> 03:19:16,060
and if you have to flow you go with the flow of the river. Look out ahead of you, look

2224
03:19:16,060 --> 03:19:22,240
for any ways to escape, any access out, any tree branches hanging over, yellow for help, and

2225
03:19:22,240 --> 03:19:27,000
stay calm, that's the number one thing to stay calm. But the biggest part is understand that

2226
03:19:27,000 --> 03:19:34,740
what's important is being safe. The more water is in the river, the more risk there is,

2227
03:19:34,740 --> 03:19:37,000
The more hazard there is for somebody that's swimming.

2228
03:19:37,320 --> 03:19:39,040
The harder it's going to be to move around,

2229
03:19:39,480 --> 03:19:41,460
the more easily you could get knocked over,

2230
03:19:41,700 --> 03:19:42,780
slip the fall into the river,

2231
03:19:42,980 --> 03:19:46,400
and generally speaking, the colder the water is going to be as well.

2232
03:19:53,570 --> 03:19:56,010
So one of the major threats that we face here in Nevada County,

2233
03:19:56,150 --> 03:19:56,890
is wildfire.

2234
03:19:57,510 --> 03:19:59,590
And so while you're down visiting the Yuba River,

2235
03:19:59,590 --> 03:19:59,870
Thank you.

2236
03:20:00,000 --> 03:20:06,480
Consider the fire threat. Know that on a red flag day especially, a fast-moving wildfire can get out of control.

2237
03:20:07,260 --> 03:20:15,060
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the canyon and integrates while in a bad city.

2238
03:20:15,480 --> 03:20:26,160
So this summer we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there. Please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes and other products like that that could start a fire.

2239
03:20:26,160 --> 03:20:29,020
So when you're down here, pay attention to your surroundings.

2240
03:20:29,660 --> 03:20:31,960
Know that while you're down here, your cell phone may not work.

2241
03:20:32,440 --> 03:20:34,640
We do have call boxes for you to call out.

2242
03:20:34,800 --> 03:20:38,340
If there's a fire, you should a fire occur in the canyon.

2243
03:20:39,140 --> 03:20:42,120
You need to be moving quickly away from it.

2244
03:20:42,280 --> 03:20:45,200
And don't wait for us to fly over.

2245
03:20:45,440 --> 03:20:46,760
Don't wait for an engine companies.

2246
03:20:47,140 --> 03:20:51,620
If you see it, get away from it, move up the canyon, move out of the way of it.

2247
03:20:51,780 --> 03:20:55,000
Because it's going to be congested at the trailhead trying to get out.

2248
03:20:55,000 --> 03:21:04,040
So, have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely and know that evacuations may take longer on those hot summer days if there's a fire in the riverking.

2249
03:21:04,520 --> 03:21:06,160
Think about things like evacuation.

2250
03:21:06,740 --> 03:21:08,860
How am I going to get out and find a fire word to kick off?

2251
03:21:09,180 --> 03:21:16,600
Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather, and topography, it's important that you do your part to prevent wildfires into the riverking.

2252
03:21:16,600 --> 03:21:17,140
There

2253
03:22:55,730 --> 03:23:02,510
you live in our Oak Woodlands, where Alpine Morris, if you're a resident of Nevada County,

2254
03:23:02,830 --> 03:23:11,290
then wildfire is on your mind. From community planning to defensible space and green waste collection.

2255
03:23:18,370 --> 03:23:25,750
We are all in this together. Learn more about wildfire preparedness at readynavadacounty.org.

2256
03:23:25,750 --> 03:23:36,130
So, as a UC cooperative extension for a St. Fire Advisor, my goal is to extend the best available research to the people who are helping people prepare here in our region.

2257
03:23:36,930 --> 03:23:49,290
And so, I often work with agencies and partners throughout town to make sure that they're aware of the latest research that people publish and that they can incorporate that into their planning and preparedness.

2258
03:23:50,230 --> 03:23:54,270
I know that when we think about fire in California it can be really overwhelming.

2259
03:23:54,470 --> 03:23:57,150
You can think, what can I do? I'm just one person.

2260
03:23:57,810 --> 03:24:01,750
But what I can say is you can start at your own home, where you live with your family.

2261
03:24:02,370 --> 03:24:04,670
And I tell people, there's a lot of things you can do.

2262
03:24:05,070 --> 03:24:06,810
But there's still going to be a chance that your home burns.

2263
03:24:07,230 --> 03:24:09,790
You can dramatically reduce the chance of your home burning.

2264
03:24:10,150 --> 03:24:12,530
But it will never be completely safe because we live in California.

2265
03:24:12,990 --> 03:24:15,590
Fire is here before us and it will be here after us as well.

2266
03:24:15,590 --> 03:24:21,010
you can have an evacuation plan so that if there is a fire, you know how to get out and you

2267
03:24:21,010 --> 03:24:25,630
had to protect your family. The next step would be to prepare in your home and the lands

2268
03:24:25,630 --> 03:24:30,810
around it so making sure that your home is fire resistant. Then working on the defensible space

2269
03:24:30,810 --> 03:24:34,730
surrounding it. And once you kind of have your own personal things tackled, you can really start

2270
03:24:34,730 --> 03:24:39,430
to engage in the broader community and you can think about how can I work with my neighborhood so all of

2271
03:24:39,430 --> 03:24:44,010
these people can achieve the same goals that I have and together it will be stronger. In California

2272
03:24:44,010 --> 03:24:47,850
We've been hearing about defensible space for quite a long time because we have a public

2273
03:24:47,850 --> 03:24:54,950
resource code about it. California, 42, 91. And when I think about 42, 91, I know

2274
03:24:54,950 --> 03:24:59,650
that it was written many years ago and since then we've had many unfortunate fires and we've

2275
03:24:59,650 --> 03:24:59,950
increased our...

2276
03:25:00,000 --> 03:25:05,060
We are acknowledge about what actually proves home survival. There is this news zone surround

2277
03:25:05,060 --> 03:25:09,760
a home within the 5 feet of a home, University of California the National Fire Protection

2278
03:25:09,760 --> 03:25:13,920
Association provides you and the insurance institute for business and home safety

2279
03:25:13,920 --> 03:25:29,980
DI or to have no combustible materials within the 5 feet of a home or low

2280
03:25:29,980 --> 03:25:33,960
I have to think about where I can put the plants that I love so that my home is safe

2281
03:25:33,960 --> 03:25:35,380
and so that they're also safe.

2282
03:25:35,980 --> 03:25:40,900
And so the message we're trying to tell people now is that from zero to five feet of a house,

2283
03:25:41,300 --> 03:25:45,860
you have no combustible objects or maybe low combustibility if you're really good at maintenance.

2284
03:25:46,260 --> 03:25:47,860
I'm not, but maybe you are.

2285
03:25:48,140 --> 03:25:54,300
So you could have a well irrigated lawn that you mow regularly or maybe a few annual plants with a rock mulch.

2286
03:25:54,300 --> 03:25:59,620
And then out from there, from 5 feet to 30 feet, it's the lean, clean, and green zone.

2287
03:26:00,140 --> 03:26:05,200
And in that area, you'll have beautiful plants, but they're going to be spaced really

2288
03:26:05,200 --> 03:26:09,700
wide apart, so that there's no continuous fuel leading towards your home.

2289
03:26:10,340 --> 03:26:15,260
And you'll have beautiful, hard scraping, I've seen flags, stones, and decompose, granite,

2290
03:26:15,920 --> 03:26:20,720
and tile work that you can use to kind of break up all of those fuels that are near your

2291
03:26:20,720 --> 03:26:24,020
And then from 30 feet to 100 feet out, you'll have reduced fuel.

2292
03:26:24,640 --> 03:26:29,120
So, around my home, that means we have large ponderosa pine trees and cedar trees.

2293
03:26:29,920 --> 03:26:36,680
But we've reduced the understory cover, some, and we've really opened up the forest canopy in that area.

2294
03:26:37,260 --> 03:26:43,900
So, California Public Resource Code 4291, they has two zones, zero to 30 feet,

2295
03:26:44,140 --> 03:26:47,800
which is lean, clean, and green, and the 30 to 100 feet, which is reduced fuel.

2296
03:26:47,800 --> 03:26:52,460
We know many homes burn because of embers, because of embers getting into addicts,

2297
03:26:52,600 --> 03:26:55,700
but also because of embers that land at the base of a house.

2298
03:26:56,800 --> 03:27:01,940
And you're mulch, and your woody plants that are not well maintained, and you're

2299
03:27:01,940 --> 03:27:06,520
wand that wasn't mowed that week. And when an ember lands really close to your house,

2300
03:27:06,540 --> 03:27:11,520
maybe within zero to five feet, and you get a small fire that's small fire can grow,

2301
03:27:11,820 --> 03:27:17,460
and it can catch your house on fire. And so the latest research and latest recommendations

2302
03:27:17,460 --> 03:27:21,940
at the national level and also for the University of California is to really focus on this

2303
03:27:21,940 --> 03:27:25,620
new zero to five foot, no combustible to low combustible zone.

2304
03:27:26,160 --> 03:27:29,660
So sometimes, you'll think with the sensible space, more is better.

2305
03:27:30,320 --> 03:27:33,320
But what I can say is that more isn't always better.

2306
03:27:33,640 --> 03:27:36,400
If I eat too much chocolate cake, I'm probably going to feel ill.

2307
03:27:37,120 --> 03:27:41,900
And so when I think about the sensible space and your home, I know that we really need to

2308
03:27:41,900 --> 03:27:44,840
have the most intensity right around the home itself.

2309
03:27:44,840 --> 03:27:46,400
You want your home to be fire resistant.

2310
03:27:46,400 --> 03:27:53,280
You want to have low to no combustibility within 5 feet from 5 to 30 feet, have a lean

2311
03:27:53,280 --> 03:27:57,020
clean and green zone, and then from 30 to 100 feet you have reduced fuels.

2312
03:27:58,100 --> 03:28:02,300
And nowhere in there, except within 5 feet of a house, am I talking about bare mineral

2313
03:28:02,300 --> 03:28:03,580
soil or rocks?

2314
03:28:04,340 --> 03:28:11,980
Beyond that, you can enjoy the greenery of nature and flowers and trees, but you just want

2315
03:28:11,980 --> 03:28:13,480
to be very careful about their spacing.

2316
03:28:14,060 --> 03:28:18,700
I've heard some people say, I'm really afraid of fire, I'm going to have 500 feet of

2317
03:28:18,700 --> 03:28:24,160
bare mineral soil, and I get worried because I think that's a lot of work, but I also

2318
03:28:24,160 --> 03:28:27,040
know that isn't necessarily protect them from fire.

2319
03:28:27,220 --> 03:28:32,440
It protects them from one aspect of a fire, it protects them from a flame front, moving past

2320
03:28:32,440 --> 03:28:35,480
their house, but it doesn't protect them from the embers, it could still catch that house

2321
03:28:35,480 --> 03:28:36,040
on fire.

2322
03:28:36,300 --> 03:28:42,360
I also know that when we start to have 500 or more feet of defensible space that sometimes

2323
03:28:42,360 --> 03:28:45,700
that actually might negatively impact our national resources.

2324
03:28:46,120 --> 03:28:48,980
We need to be careful about how we manage our defense space.

2325
03:28:49,620 --> 03:28:51,940
Sometimes we live in these beautiful and mixed conifer forests

2326
03:28:51,940 --> 03:28:53,700
like around here in Nevada City,

2327
03:28:55,180 --> 03:28:56,480
and reducing the fuels in those forests

2328
03:28:56,480 --> 03:28:59,400
actually could be a type of restoration that could be good for them.

2329
03:29:00,060 --> 03:29:03,840
But at other times, if you live maybe in a shaperel area,

2330
03:29:04,040 --> 03:29:06,060
reducing those fuels for more than 100 feet

2331
03:29:06,060 --> 03:29:08,160
could actually be detrimental to that plant community.

2332
03:29:08,620 --> 03:29:10,180
And so we just need to be really mindful

2333
03:29:10,180 --> 03:29:11,940
of how we use defenseable space.

2334
03:29:11,940 --> 03:29:18,740
And knowing that we only really need about a hundred feet for a home unless you live on a very steep slope or if there's very dense

2335
03:29:18,740 --> 03:29:25,000
Vegetation you might want to accept it to a 200 feet. So I always like to think that everyone is an expert in fire physics

2336
03:29:25,000 --> 03:29:30,640
It's not just people like myself who have their doctorates in it because we've all roasted marshmallows around a campfire

2337
03:29:30,640 --> 03:29:31,880
So we all know

2338
03:29:31,880 --> 03:29:37,260
How firework? So you know that if you take your marshmallow and you stick it directly into the center of that campfire

2339
03:29:37,260 --> 03:29:39,100
It is gonna catch fire

2340
03:29:40,000 --> 03:29:43,240
And that's how homes can get caught on fire as well,

2341
03:29:43,480 --> 03:29:44,740
kind of that direct flame contact.

2342
03:29:44,840 --> 03:29:47,220
But when I think about what makes the fire resistant home,

2343
03:29:47,360 --> 03:29:50,460
they often have, I think about maybe the top five things that you can do.

2344
03:29:50,560 --> 03:29:52,900
You can have a roof that's resistant to fire,

2345
03:29:53,060 --> 03:29:54,600
a deck that's resistant to fire,

2346
03:29:54,700 --> 03:29:56,480
you can have defensible space,

2347
03:29:57,160 --> 03:29:59,660
and you can work on your siding and your windows.

2348
03:30:00,000 --> 03:30:05,180
But so when I think about a roof, you want to make sure that your roof is resistant to fire.

2349
03:30:05,920 --> 03:30:12,260
And that's having a classy roof. And that could be a single roof. It can be a metal roof or a tile roof.

2350
03:30:12,860 --> 03:30:17,080
And a lot of times, you're like, I hear people say, I have a metal roof. I'm okay from fire.

2351
03:30:17,820 --> 03:30:26,140
And we have to be really careful with those assumptions, because when I think about a fire resistant home, it's always about the design, the materials and the maintenance.

2352
03:30:26,740 --> 03:30:30,960
And so, metal and tile roofs, they often have these gaps on the edges.

2353
03:30:31,700 --> 03:30:35,180
These little gaps, you need to plug up with some sort of filler, which I'm certain

2354
03:30:35,180 --> 03:30:38,420
the building department can tell you what to use and I can't.

2355
03:30:38,860 --> 03:30:43,000
But what I can say is that little critters love to make nests there, whether they're a

2356
03:30:43,000 --> 03:30:48,920
wasp or a bird or a small mammal, like a mouse, it's a perfect size for a nest.

2357
03:30:49,460 --> 03:30:53,380
Which is unfortunate because then you have all of these grasses and needles and leaves

2358
03:30:53,380 --> 03:30:59,600
is right on your wooden roof deck, underneath the concrete, or underneath the concrete, or

2359
03:30:59,600 --> 03:31:03,740
the tile, or the metal, and that actually is what often catches those types of roofs on

2360
03:31:03,740 --> 03:31:04,000
fire.

2361
03:31:04,180 --> 03:31:09,100
One of the other things every home needs is to make sure that they have attic and basement

2362
03:31:09,100 --> 03:31:14,160
vents that can reduce the number of embers that come into that house, and that is currently

2363
03:31:14,160 --> 03:31:18,000
regulated in California building code chapter 7A.

2364
03:31:18,660 --> 03:31:22,940
But if you have an older home, like myself, then it didn't apply when it was built, because

2365
03:31:22,940 --> 03:31:24,040
that's a newer building code.

2366
03:31:24,240 --> 03:31:26,080
And so I've gone back into my house.

2367
03:31:26,160 --> 03:31:29,300
When we first moved in, we couldn't afford fancy new vents.

2368
03:31:29,800 --> 03:31:31,220
And so we went to the hardware store

2369
03:31:31,220 --> 03:31:33,700
and bought one eighth inch screen.

2370
03:31:34,180 --> 03:31:36,680
And we stapled that over all of our vents

2371
03:31:36,680 --> 03:31:37,920
and their attic and our basement.

2372
03:31:38,260 --> 03:31:41,520
Once we kind of settled through the moving into a new place,

2373
03:31:41,920 --> 03:31:43,840
we were able to afford new vents.

2374
03:31:44,100 --> 03:31:46,820
And so we went to the California Building Code website.

2375
03:31:47,800 --> 03:31:50,460
And we looked to see what were the main companies

2376
03:31:50,460 --> 03:31:52,340
they recommended and the style of vents.

2377
03:31:52,340 --> 03:31:59,660
We decided on a event that had an exterior baffling, and then a one-eighth in screen that had

2378
03:31:59,660 --> 03:32:00,540
an intomestant paint.

2379
03:32:01,880 --> 03:32:05,000
So I thought a lot of things, let me try to break that down just a little bit.

2380
03:32:05,200 --> 03:32:10,640
So the reason we have attic vents is because they help your attic air circulate so that

2381
03:32:10,640 --> 03:32:13,260
your home doesn't rock from the inside out.

2382
03:32:13,720 --> 03:32:16,580
But in a fire, they actually serve two main purposes, these vents.

2383
03:32:16,940 --> 03:32:20,980
The vents all vents in your house can allow embers to go into your house.

2384
03:32:22,320 --> 03:32:29,260
And then if your home is close enough to another structure, or maybe some plants that catch fire,

2385
03:32:29,420 --> 03:32:33,800
then those vents can also be a way that you can have direct flame going into your house.

2386
03:32:34,380 --> 03:32:38,000
And so when I thought about what type of event I really wanted on my house.

2387
03:32:38,060 --> 03:32:42,120
I wanted a vent that reduced the amount of embers that could go in.

2388
03:32:42,160 --> 03:32:47,700
That's why we have the exterior baffling, because as the air moves up and down and up and down to get through the vent,

2389
03:32:48,360 --> 03:32:50,880
those metal slats actually help snuff out those embers.

2390
03:32:51,860 --> 03:32:55,960
And then we have the one eighth inch screen, because again, that helps reduce the amount of

2391
03:32:55,960 --> 03:32:57,400
embers that are going into the attic.

2392
03:32:58,020 --> 03:33:00,460
And then that screen has an inter-messent paint.

2393
03:33:01,380 --> 03:33:06,780
And what inter-messent paint is, it has a chemical composition that swells when it's exposed to heat.

2394
03:33:07,900 --> 03:33:12,360
So if something nearby is on fire, then that inter-messent paint will swell shut,

2395
03:33:12,500 --> 03:33:16,100
and not allow anything else into the attic or crawl space.

2396
03:33:16,820 --> 03:33:20,800
And I think, you know, for most people, we're going to need events that can do all of those things.

2397
03:33:21,160 --> 03:33:30,580
Not one or the other. The other thing that I would recommend is to have some plywood cut-outs that you can put over the exterior of your events before you evacuate if you have time.

2398
03:33:31,380 --> 03:33:36,780
I know a lot of our evacuations in California are unfortunately becoming much shorter and shorter time frames before we have to leave.

2399
03:33:36,920 --> 03:33:42,160
So you have to be ready to leave without any of that. But if you have the time, it could be nice to put on.

2400
03:33:42,160 --> 03:33:47,900
One question I'm often asked is, Kate, I really want vents, but I'm not sure if I can afford them.

2401
03:33:48,480 --> 03:33:49,920
Especially if you're on a fixed income.

2402
03:33:51,000 --> 03:33:53,620
But we have a resource that USDA rule development.

2403
03:33:54,440 --> 03:33:57,540
Loan service actually will give loans out for home improvements.

2404
03:33:58,200 --> 03:34:01,840
And home renovations that include making your home resistant to fire.

2405
03:34:02,800 --> 03:34:07,640
So that can be one way, so these types of renovations like vents, closing in,

2406
03:34:07,640 --> 03:34:13,240
Your soft bits updating your deck can be affordable for people who are here and living on a fixed income.

2407
03:34:14,020 --> 03:34:17,520
The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety has a wildfire checklist.

2408
03:34:18,040 --> 03:34:22,000
And you can Google that. The Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety wildfire checklist.

2409
03:34:22,400 --> 03:34:31,900
And it can go through and it tells you every event to look out, every window, every place where you should have put cocking in or you need to put cocking in.

2410
03:34:32,120 --> 03:34:34,860
And it can help walk you through that list of items to do.

2411
03:34:34,860 --> 03:34:37,000
And it's an extensive list.

2412
03:34:37,460 --> 03:34:43,160
There are these top five areas that you really need to work on as a resident of fire zone.

2413
03:34:44,300 --> 03:34:49,560
At the same time, there's areas that are beyond that that we all should be working on still.

2414
03:34:50,460 --> 03:34:52,320
Because fire is kind of like water.

2415
03:34:52,480 --> 03:34:53,900
It's probably going to find a way in.

2416
03:34:54,000 --> 03:34:57,520
So we need to be very careful and have it well maintained homes.

2417
03:34:58,260 --> 03:34:59,940
The Roots of Nevada Count...

2418
03:35:00,000 --> 03:35:06,480
These assisted outpatient treatment programs stem from a tragic shooting that occurred in the county in 2001.

2419
03:35:06,900 --> 03:35:15,880
An individual with an untreated mental illness entered the county mental health clinic and shot and killed two individuals.

2420
03:35:15,880 --> 03:35:20,140
I've been proceeded to go to a business in Grass Valley,

2421
03:35:20,960 --> 03:35:23,820
Sean and Kill, the other individual, several people were wounded.

2422
03:35:24,900 --> 03:35:30,520
One of the individuals that was killed was Laura Wilcoz.

2423
03:35:31,940 --> 03:35:40,100
Laura's parents took it upon themselves to advocate and work with state legislators

2424
03:35:40,100 --> 03:35:47,140
to enact what was known as Laura's law in the state of California.

2425
03:35:47,640 --> 03:35:54,420
Laura's law became part of California's welfare and institutions code replicating what was done in dozens of other states.

2426
03:35:54,640 --> 03:36:03,340
Several years later, California's Mental Health Services Act provided a potential funding source for Nevada County to implement assisted outpatient treatment.

2427
03:36:03,340 --> 03:36:22,040
So, in May 2008, after about a year and a half planning efforts, Nevada County became the first county in California and so far to this day, the only county that has fully implemented assisted outpatient treatment.

2428
03:36:22,520 --> 03:36:31,540
The program offers a unique solution that bridges the gap for dangerous people in need of mental health services who may not be on probation are not gravely disabled

2429
03:36:31,540 --> 03:36:36,400
or don't meet the criteria for emergency involuntary hospitalization.

2430
03:36:36,540 --> 03:36:43,100
Assistant outpatient treatment allows a judge to order those individuals to receive

2431
03:36:43,100 --> 03:36:47,560
outpatient treatment in their community, they can still live at home, they can still work,

2432
03:36:47,720 --> 03:36:51,380
they can still go to school, but they're ordered into treatment.

2433
03:36:51,720 --> 03:36:54,420
The program is successful because of its collaborative nature.

2434
03:36:54,420 --> 03:36:57,800
The collaborative courts are amazing.

2435
03:36:58,800 --> 03:37:01,500
It is a conversation with the judge,

2436
03:37:02,080 --> 03:37:04,420
and the attorneys, and the treatment team,

2437
03:37:05,060 --> 03:37:05,980
and the individual.

2438
03:37:06,360 --> 03:37:09,400
And the personal contact at having a collaborative team

2439
03:37:09,400 --> 03:37:13,420
avoids a lot of misunderstanding and allows for

2440
03:37:14,020 --> 03:37:15,580
the benefits to proceed.

2441
03:37:15,860 --> 03:37:18,400
And so, when you watch the judge,

2442
03:37:18,580 --> 03:37:21,560
interact with the candidate, the client,

2443
03:37:21,560 --> 03:37:31,740
You see how there is the ability to really address some of the treatment issues with the client.

2444
03:37:32,040 --> 03:37:36,000
Collaborative processes have a much greater impact than a much more effective.

2445
03:37:36,580 --> 03:37:45,560
It's serious in that the judge attempts to hold person accountable for that treatment plan they agree to.

2446
03:37:45,560 --> 03:37:52,920
and also hold the provider accountable for seeing what they're going to do to assist this person

2447
03:37:52,920 --> 03:37:58,100
with some of the things that are, they feel are obstacles for them and their lives.

2448
03:37:59,500 --> 03:38:10,160
So, we are having a conversation and it is very supportive, recovery oriented, environment that

2449
03:38:11,280 --> 03:38:12,940
takes place right in the courtroom.

2450
03:38:12,940 --> 03:38:19,020
Of 25 people referred to the program, only five have the face court orders to undergo treatment

2451
03:38:19,020 --> 03:38:21,200
and the rest volunteered to be treated.

2452
03:38:21,620 --> 03:38:27,360
And data show that the program has saved more than a half million dollars over two and a half years.

2453
03:38:27,720 --> 03:38:31,840
The cost savings is related to some of the benefit of the community.

2454
03:38:32,880 --> 03:38:37,600
We have those 25 people are spending less time in jail.

2455
03:38:37,600 --> 03:38:52,740
That means less time for judges, less time for probation officers, less arrests that the sheriffs and local police departments have to do, so it frees up law enforcement to pay attention to other areas.

2456
03:38:53,220 --> 03:39:02,040
Many of these individuals are now living independently rather than either homeless or in a transient lifestyle.

2457
03:39:02,040 --> 03:39:09,240
Many of these individuals are either full-time employee or part-time employee compared to

2458
03:39:09,240 --> 03:39:12,060
no employment before they entered in the treatment.

2459
03:39:12,500 --> 03:39:19,280
I believe that our community is safer because these folks are now in treatment versus being

2460
03:39:19,280 --> 03:39:22,260
somewhere in the community out of treatment.

2461
03:39:35,550 --> 03:39:42,210
I'm a river scientist and river skills teacher, and I also love to say the river 12 years ago

2462
03:39:42,210 --> 03:39:47,630
started doing some plants that teach people what we call river literacy, how you can read the water,

2463
03:39:47,730 --> 03:39:51,650
so you can understand where it's awesome places to play, what the river is doing,

2464
03:39:51,910 --> 03:39:56,010
but also you can find the really safe spots and you can basically read the water.

2465
03:39:57,090 --> 03:39:59,970
So I'd love to give for you all, so if the main just...

2466
03:40:00,000 --> 03:40:29,080
What we cover in those camps, the areas that we like, that we'll cover here, right now, are to look, grip, and protect. The first concept of look, it's, we are so blessed here at the U.B., we have this incredible water, so you can see the bottom, you can see all around you, incredible visibility, wonderful with a mask and sparkle. But it's super important when you're playing, that you're actually looking for other things too. Wherever you are, whatever you're going to do, we all have different choices of what we do at the river.

2467
03:40:29,080 --> 03:40:34,900
It's super important you scout first. So if you're tempted, you want to those people who like to set jump off rocks

2468
03:40:34,900 --> 03:40:39,280
You should be in the water ahead of time with a mask and looking very carefully for any obstructions

2469
03:40:39,860 --> 03:40:46,080
If you're like me who loves to go into large folders and these beautiful beautiful large openings underneath full of fish

2470
03:40:46,080 --> 03:40:49,900
Then you also want to always look and make sure that it's totally clear

2471
03:40:49,900 --> 03:40:54,220
We get really this river's very dynamic changes a lot and last year

2472
03:40:54,220 --> 03:40:58,960
We had very high flows on the river that move large rocks and other obstructions that

2473
03:40:58,960 --> 03:41:00,960
can end the bean and our favorite place bus.

2474
03:41:01,360 --> 03:41:05,460
So the best way to live and make sure you can be safe in those spots is looking from

2475
03:41:05,460 --> 03:41:10,420
downstream up first, that way the current can't pull you into anything, and you can make sure

2476
03:41:10,420 --> 03:41:11,660
everything's in the clear.

2477
03:41:13,780 --> 03:41:15,220
Point number two, grip.

2478
03:41:15,920 --> 03:41:16,620
We're again.

2479
03:41:17,080 --> 03:41:21,520
Beautiful granite rocks here, we love to lay on there so soft, they're so nurturing, they're

2480
03:41:21,520 --> 03:41:22,140
really wonderful.

2481
03:41:22,500 --> 03:41:22,980
Guess what?

2482
03:41:22,980 --> 03:41:27,240
they're also of course slippery. So when hopping from rock to rock, it can be quite easy

2483
03:41:27,240 --> 03:41:31,340
to slip and lose your footing and you might come into a place that actually has a very

2484
03:41:31,340 --> 03:41:36,580
large hazard or just simply grip yourself. It's also when we're following a buddy, they've gone

2485
03:41:36,580 --> 03:41:42,600
before us and the rock is wet. So when we jump, it's not the same jump that they did. It's super

2486
03:41:42,600 --> 03:41:46,920
important as you're at the river. If you can move along, use three points of contact and move

2487
03:41:46,920 --> 03:41:50,820
yourself along as quickly as you need, but it's incredible how much it serves us for our

2488
03:41:50,820 --> 03:41:57,280
ability every year, every year, someone falls and gets seriously injured or dies simply from

2489
03:41:57,280 --> 03:42:04,400
slipping on rocks. And a third concept for attack. So our bodies, they're bizarrely shaped and

2490
03:42:04,400 --> 03:42:09,040
look at all these things coming out. There's a set to get snagged into things. And some of

2491
03:42:09,040 --> 03:42:13,100
the places we're playing or some of the places we might find ourselves have some rocks that

2492
03:42:13,100 --> 03:42:19,180
have really small openings and we can easily get what's called in-strap. Even at low-flows,

2493
03:42:19,180 --> 03:42:24,200
it's very easy to get trapped. It's just, it's really quite bizarre. So what's important for us

2494
03:42:24,200 --> 03:42:29,560
if you find yourself in a situation where you have large moving water or rocks underneath

2495
03:42:29,560 --> 03:42:34,720
where that can have entrails. You can't see them. It's super important for you to protect yourself.

2496
03:42:35,720 --> 03:42:38,740
And what I mean by that is if you end up either accidentally or intentionally,

2497
03:42:38,940 --> 03:42:43,500
one of those spots fall up, get those limbs in, don't be shoving those into the rocks.

2498
03:42:44,520 --> 03:42:48,180
Another very important part of protection is protect each other.

2499
03:42:48,480 --> 03:42:52,560
Some people are pushing themselves to keep up with others and doing things that are not

2500
03:42:52,560 --> 03:42:53,440
fight in their body.

2501
03:42:53,780 --> 03:42:56,540
Some people you might see are just doing things that are just plain silly.

2502
03:42:56,660 --> 03:42:58,700
They can harm themselves or harm others.

2503
03:42:59,240 --> 03:43:02,020
It's super important if you carry for the protect each other while with a river.

2504
03:43:03,520 --> 03:43:03,780
So great.

2505
03:43:03,840 --> 03:43:05,860
Thank you all so much for watching this video.

2506
03:43:06,180 --> 03:43:07,660
And love them and caring for the U.S.

2507
03:43:07,880 --> 03:43:10,400
And just remember these concepts next time you go down to the river.

2508
03:43:10,400 --> 03:43:13,440
to remember, to look, grip, and protect,

2509
03:43:14,020 --> 03:43:16,760
and enjoy yourself, have a great time at the river, and be safe.

2510
03:44:15,810 --> 03:44:20,310
Strukey Healthy Babies is an evidence-based home visiting

2511
03:44:20,310 --> 03:44:21,650
program model.

2512
03:44:21,970 --> 03:44:27,170
Home Visitor forms a really healthy, long-lasting relationship

2513
03:44:27,170 --> 03:44:32,390
with the family, and teach parents how to understand their

2514
03:44:32,390 --> 03:44:35,270
baby at every single stage of development.

2515
03:44:38,900 --> 03:44:41,720
Struggle the lot, being a first-time mom, and joy

2516
03:44:41,720 --> 03:44:43,700
That was just really there and support.

2517
03:44:43,920 --> 03:44:50,060
The support is wonderful and feeling like you're actually a part of a community and that you're

2518
03:44:50,060 --> 03:44:50,720
not alone.

2519
03:44:51,160 --> 03:44:54,780
Well, holding a small toy in each hand is he clapped the toys together.

2520
03:44:55,880 --> 03:44:56,320
Yes.

2521
03:44:56,460 --> 03:44:56,820
My toy.

2522
03:44:57,560 --> 03:44:58,340
My toy.

2523
03:44:58,660 --> 03:44:59,940
because it, it's fine.

2524
03:45:00,000 --> 03:45:04,300
We have fun, we enjoy each other and sort of change.

2525
03:45:05,040 --> 03:45:14,180
I benefited by having someone else to talk to, you know, just someone that's caring about what's going on in my life.

2526
03:45:15,380 --> 03:45:18,260
As well as, you know, the development of my child.

2527
03:45:18,400 --> 03:45:24,300
Where do I go in the community for diverse if I need them last minute? Where can I go to get some food if my family's struggling?

2528
03:45:24,300 --> 03:45:32,040
These things I had no idea about. I had nowhere to go, knowing that there's someone there that you can reach out to is amazing.

2529
03:45:33,660 --> 03:45:42,040
When I talk with my colleagues in other areas of the state, one of the things that I am reminded again and again about that is unique about

2530
03:45:42,040 --> 03:45:53,820
Nevada County is the extent to which we are connected with one another. We have multiple non-profit agencies and government agencies and we all know one another.

2531
03:45:53,820 --> 03:45:55,500
and we all work together.

2532
03:45:56,100 --> 03:45:58,660
And so, put heel and trekking, healthy babies.

2533
03:45:59,480 --> 03:46:01,400
I know that if I'm looking for a resource,

2534
03:46:01,620 --> 03:46:04,700
that those home visitors know all the resources

2535
03:46:04,700 --> 03:46:06,880
that are out there, and I can pick up the phone

2536
03:46:06,880 --> 03:46:08,840
and call them and say, hey, I just got a call

2537
03:46:08,840 --> 03:46:12,100
from a family and they're looking for XYZ.

2538
03:46:12,720 --> 03:46:15,420
And chances are those home visits will be able to tell me

2539
03:46:15,420 --> 03:46:16,580
what that is.

2540
03:46:16,700 --> 03:46:18,420
I've been doing this for 35 years.

2541
03:46:18,620 --> 03:46:22,500
So one trend that everybody my age has noticed is,

2542
03:46:22,500 --> 03:46:25,660
And we were practicing, we were dealing a lot with medical issues.

2543
03:46:26,760 --> 03:46:33,820
We now are dealing with many more mental health issues, particularly with the stresses

2544
03:46:33,820 --> 03:46:37,540
on family, in adolescence, depression, anxiety.

2545
03:46:38,220 --> 03:46:43,880
I've been reading a lot of research lately that says the number one factor in resilience for

2546
03:46:43,880 --> 03:46:51,860
kid in building resilience is having a warm positive relationship with a caring adult in their

2547
03:46:51,860 --> 03:46:58,560
life. Usually that caring adult is a parent, but the beauty of home visiting is that parents

2548
03:46:58,560 --> 03:47:03,500
who may not have had that have an opportunity to build that kind of relationship with their

2549
03:47:03,500 --> 03:47:08,820
home visitor and then have the ability to build that kind of relationship with their child,

2550
03:47:09,380 --> 03:47:13,720
which will carry forward through the generations. And I really think that if you want to

2551
03:47:13,720 --> 03:47:19,440
change the world the way to do it is to provide that kind of intensive home visiting to support

2552
03:47:19,440 --> 03:47:21,380
to parents who need it.

2553
03:47:32,630 --> 03:47:35,650
What people should not bring to the river is alcohol,

2554
03:47:36,650 --> 03:47:39,290
a barbecue, anything that has an open flame,

2555
03:47:40,090 --> 03:47:41,390
any type of glass containers,

2556
03:47:42,130 --> 03:47:44,210
bag glass containers that you're carrying

2557
03:47:44,210 --> 03:47:46,330
could very easily shatter on the rocks

2558
03:47:46,330 --> 03:47:48,410
and it becomes a hazard for not only you,

2559
03:47:48,490 --> 03:47:49,490
but other people at the river.

2560
03:47:49,870 --> 03:47:52,690
If you come to the river that's wonderful and joyed,

2561
03:47:52,770 --> 03:47:54,330
it's an incredibly magical place,

2562
03:47:54,670 --> 03:47:57,150
but take all of the trash that you brought with you,

2563
03:47:57,150 --> 03:48:00,210
everything that you brought, bring that back out with you,

2564
03:48:00,210 --> 03:48:05,170
odds are you're going to see some bottles or a pan or something like that take that with you

2565
03:48:05,170 --> 03:48:11,290
and please please please pick up after your pets in addition to kind of picking a

2566
03:48:11,290 --> 03:48:15,610
trash because of aesthetic reasons we're also really worried about trash, you know,

2567
03:48:15,670 --> 03:48:19,230
the plastics and things like that and also the dog waste for the health of the environment

2568
03:48:19,230 --> 03:48:23,250
because if you don't it's just going to end up in the river and it's bad for human

2569
03:48:23,250 --> 03:48:25,370
health and it's bad for the health of the environment as well.

2570
03:50:45,170 --> 03:50:52,570
Major threats that we face here in Nevada County is wildfire. And so while you're down visiting the U.B. River, consider the fire threat.

2571
03:50:53,010 --> 03:50:57,570
Know that on a red flag day, especially a fast moving wildfire, can get out of control.

2572
03:50:58,370 --> 03:51:06,270
Even a poorly disposed of cigarette could create a fire that pushes all the way down the canyon and integrates while in Nevada City.

2573
03:51:06,530 --> 03:51:14,770
So this summer, we're encouraging folks to just be safe when they're out there. Please don't have barbecues or campfires. Be careful when you're disposing of cigarettes.

2574
03:51:14,770 --> 03:51:17,330
and other products like that that could start a fire.

2575
03:51:17,670 --> 03:51:20,110
So when you're down here, pay attention to your surroundings.

2576
03:51:20,770 --> 03:51:21,850
Know that while you're down here,

2577
03:51:21,850 --> 03:51:23,070
you're self-luent, may not work.

2578
03:51:23,570 --> 03:51:25,790
We do have call boxes for you to call out.

2579
03:51:25,910 --> 03:51:29,390
If there's a fire, you should a fire occur in the canyon.

2580
03:51:30,230 --> 03:51:33,230
You need to be moving quickly away from it

2581
03:51:33,230 --> 03:51:37,030
and don't wait for us to fly over, don't wait for it.

2582
03:51:37,070 --> 03:51:40,270
And as you go, if you see it, get away from it,

2583
03:51:40,270 --> 03:51:42,730
move up the canyon, move out of the way of it,

2584
03:51:42,730 --> 03:51:46,310
because it's going to be congested at the trail ahead trying to get out.

2585
03:51:46,670 --> 03:51:49,650
So, have a plan to get yourself in your family out safely

2586
03:51:49,650 --> 03:51:53,710
and know that evacuations may take longer on those hot summer days

2587
03:51:53,710 --> 03:51:55,130
if there's a fire in the riverking.

2588
03:51:55,590 --> 03:51:57,290
Think about things like evacuation.

2589
03:51:57,850 --> 03:51:59,930
How am I going to get out and get some fireware to kick off?

2590
03:52:00,270 --> 03:52:03,330
Because of the orientation of the fuels, weather, and topography,

2591
03:52:03,730 --> 03:52:07,650
it's important that you do your part to prevent wildfires in the riverking.

2592
03:52:15,690 --> 03:52:18,450
The parking lots here at the Uber River are very limited

2593
03:52:18,450 --> 03:52:22,270
And obviously, we don't have room for tons of people here often.

2594
03:52:22,430 --> 03:52:26,250
So people have to park on the side of the highway, and the highway here is an active state highway.

2595
03:52:26,570 --> 03:52:29,150
It's a vital artery to people in three different counties.

2596
03:52:29,550 --> 03:52:33,530
When we have medical emergencies or any other kind of emergencies in this area, the access is always key.

2597
03:52:33,790 --> 03:52:37,230
And it's always very difficult to get in these areas with fire apparatus and equipment.

2598
03:52:37,430 --> 03:52:42,450
So to have that ability of maneuver and to park and to get to somebody you need quickly is very important.

2599
03:52:42,850 --> 03:52:46,430
Financial cost for parking citations is in the hundreds of dollars, especially for these areas.

2600
03:52:46,430 --> 03:52:51,990
The county has enhanced some of the finds for specific parking zones in this area, so it is very expensive

2601
03:52:51,990 --> 03:52:56,630
And it goes basically on your vehicle registration. So if you don't end up paying that parking citation

2602
03:52:56,630 --> 03:53:01,110
It's gonna end up on you later on when you when you pay your fees with the DMV

2603
03:53:01,730 --> 03:53:06,890
So on the weekends expect long lines not a lot of parking a lot of people

2604
03:53:07,450 --> 03:53:12,690
A lot of foot traffic on the roads be very cautious when you're driving down towards the river and

2605
03:53:12,690 --> 03:53:15,450
And I think the biggest thing is just to be patients.

2606
03:53:15,730 --> 03:53:22,330
Understand that it's going to take time to actually park safely, walk down to the river and enjoy.

2607
03:53:22,710 --> 03:53:25,610
So patients is something you have to bring.

2608
03:53:31,250 --> 03:53:37,590
Election officials work hard to maintain the integrity, security, and privacy of elections in Nevada County.

2609
03:53:38,170 --> 03:53:42,170
Every registered voter in the county will receive a vote by mail ballot in the mail.

2610
03:53:42,730 --> 03:53:46,110
Have you ever wondered what happens to your ballot when you send it in?

2611
03:53:46,110 --> 03:53:50,550
Return ballots are received at the elections office where their process and count it.

2612
03:53:50,910 --> 03:53:55,010
Each voter's ballot envelope has a unique barcode that gives you credit for voting.

2613
03:53:55,470 --> 03:53:58,470
This ensures that each voter can only vote once.

2614
03:53:58,870 --> 03:54:03,790
Every signed ballot envelope is compared to signatures on file for the voter in our database.

2615
03:54:04,210 --> 03:54:07,710
If your signature matches, your ballot moves on to the next step.

2616
03:54:07,990 --> 03:54:13,190
If your signature is challenged, you'll be notified and given instructions on how to correct the issue.

2617
03:54:13,190 --> 03:54:21,150
The two most common reasons of ballot envelope is challenged are the envelope isn't signed or the signature doesn't match the voter's record.

2618
03:54:21,550 --> 03:54:24,430
A challenge ballot will be counted once the problem is corrected.

2619
03:54:25,110 --> 03:54:29,730
You can check the status of your ballot at minivatacounty.com slash elections.

2620
03:54:30,570 --> 03:54:39,790
When voter signatures are verified, ballot envelopes are open and the ballot is removed, unfolded and prepared for processing through scanners which total up the votes.

2621
03:54:39,790 --> 03:54:44,210
Results are tabulated and released after the polls close on election night.

2622
03:54:44,490 --> 03:54:51,110
When you vote by mail, you can be assured that your vote counts, and that your ballot is both secure and private.

2623
03:54:51,730 --> 03:54:56,850
If you have any questions, contact the Nevada County elections office or visit us online.

2624
03:55:02,700 --> 03:55:14,660
I'm a veteran in the United States Marine Corps, served on I'll be for five years, and when I got out, I had my own trials and tribulations like most veterans do, and about a year after I got out, I found myself homeless myself.

2625
03:55:15,800 --> 03:55:28,640
I know what it's like to miss a meal. I know what it's like to have people look down on you. I think that you're less than who you are. I do have a personal touch with helping people to live on the streets and help help them get into a better environment.

2626
03:55:29,780 --> 03:55:35,640
Each homeless person and each person has their own set of circumstances, their complex, their histories

2627
03:55:35,640 --> 03:55:39,740
or complex, their backgrounds, there is no one-size-fits-all.

2628
03:55:42,090 --> 03:55:47,170
Joining Bill for Zero was about understanding what the data was telling us, so that we

2629
03:55:47,170 --> 03:55:52,250
could best align our systems to take advantage of all this new incoming information to make

2630
03:55:52,250 --> 03:55:56,210
sure we could shorten the time people spend homeless and to get people off the street

2631
03:55:56,210 --> 03:55:56,690
quicker.

2632
03:55:57,990 --> 03:56:00,610
Being able to know everybody by name,

2633
03:56:01,010 --> 03:56:04,050
and being able to have eight agencies working together

2634
03:56:04,050 --> 03:56:08,870
on a weekly basis to find how the resources that they have

2635
03:56:08,870 --> 03:56:12,850
can pull together to positively impact just that one person.

2636
03:56:13,210 --> 03:56:14,030
It's a unique approach.

2637
03:56:14,610 --> 03:56:16,610
We all know more intimately,

2638
03:56:17,030 --> 03:56:18,690
who everyone else is working with.

2639
03:56:19,030 --> 03:56:20,610
We know the needs those people have

2640
03:56:20,610 --> 03:56:22,370
and the barriers they face.

2641
03:56:22,970 --> 03:56:24,850
So it's a more connected system,

2642
03:56:25,230 --> 03:56:25,950
and it's bearing fruit.

2643
03:56:33,410 --> 03:56:38,650
You never know how quickly things can change.

2644
03:56:39,930 --> 03:56:41,710
That's what got me.

2645
03:56:42,330 --> 03:56:44,710
Oh, technically homeless, I guess.

2646
03:56:45,570 --> 03:56:47,770
You know, life takes you down different paths.

2647
03:56:47,870 --> 03:56:49,520
And that's the path I got stuck on.

2648
03:56:50,370 --> 03:56:51,550
I didn't ask for it.

2649
03:56:53,430 --> 03:56:55,090
This is the first time in years.

2650
03:56:55,690 --> 03:56:57,710
I've got a feeling of security.

2651
03:56:58,790 --> 03:57:00,310
And my social worker here.
