Emergencies or disasters may occur anywhere and at any time.  Amador County, with our varying topography, mix of urban and rural areas, and ever growing population, is subject to a wide variety of natural hazards.

Identify what disasters are most likely to happen here in Amador County and in your community.  Do you live or work in a flood plain, near a major earthquake fault, in a dam failure inundation area, or in a high fire danger zone?  Are you prepared for an unexpected disaster that can strike any time?  Does your neighborhood or community have a disaster plan?

Check with your insurance company to see if your home is in a high risk area for fire, flood or earthquake. Make sure your insurance coverage is up-to-date on an annual basis.
