Placerville, California – El Dorado County officials urged residents to prepare for another storm forecasted this week.
In a Facebook post shared Friday, the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office encouraged residents to take advantage of a break in current weather conditions to assemble emergency supplies ahead of the next system.
“With this break in the storm, and another storm forecasted, the Sheriff’s Office urges everyone to prepare now,” the agency stated.
Officials recommended assembling a “go bag” with essential supplies, including bottled water, non-perishable food, medications, flashlights, batteries, and a first aid kit. Additional items listed included sleeping bags or blankets, extra clothing and shoes, personal hygiene items, important documents, cash, pet supplies, and a fire extinguisher.
The department also directed residents to ready.edso.org for preparedness resources and safety information.
While no specific impacts were detailed in the post, officials emphasized readiness in case of power outages, roadway disruptions, or emergency evacuations that can accompany winter storms.
Early preparation can reduce last-minute shortages and improve household safety during severe weather events.
The reminder is particularly relevant for commuters and students who may face travel disruptions if conditions deteriorate.
Residents are encouraged to monitor official county and weather updates for further information.
