RANCHO MURIETA, CA (MPG) - Two meetings were held in Rancho Murieta on Nov. 17 and 18 to update residents on a study examining the vulnerabilities of Jackson Highway if an evacuation were required during a fire or flood. The presentation, held at Rancho Murieta Community Church, included models showing how a wind-driven fire could spread through the community, a map of local road closures during the 2023 New Year’s storm, and results from a recent community survey.
The Rancho Murieta Resilience Plan is a project led by the Sacramento County Department of Transportation under a Caltrans planning grant. A full story will be published in the Dec. 19 issue.
