ESPARTO, Yolo County — Heavy rain, heat and road incidents can affect travel and agriculture across the Capay Valley. Knowing where to find official alerts is especially useful for residents traveling between rural communities.
County emergency information
The Yolo County government website links to emergency preparedness and local service information. Residents should use current county instructions to find alert registration, emergency shelter details and evacuation guidance when necessary.
Forecasts and flood monitoring
The National Weather Service issues severe weather warnings. The California Data Exchange Center provides hydrologic measurements, while the NOAA River Forecast Center offers forecast context. River measurements should not be interpreted as a local evacuation order.
Driving safely
Use Caltrans QuickMap for state highways and check Yolo County notices for local roads. Never cross barricades or drive into floodwater. Keep a communication plan and emergency supplies ready before storm season.
