Nevada County will receive two years of zone-based evacuation planning services, thanks to a donation from private software company Zonehaven.
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday accepted the donation valued at just over $84,000, which comes after Zonehaven was awarded a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to identify California counties to partner with at no cost.
Zonehaven is also donating services to Yuba and Placer counties.
According to the company’s website, it uses algorithms to identify “key intersections and choke points” along with real time weather conditions, geographic data and local knowledge from law enforcement agencies.

The Warren County Conservation Board voted Feb. 10 to start working toward eliminating the staff director position and instead adopting a two co-director structure.
The vote was 3-1 in favor of eliminating the single director position and promoting two other positions to co-director. Board member Ron Miller was the lone nay vote while Board member Sue Boll was not present to make a vote. I m not opposed to this, Board member Joe Schettler said. I think we have the opportunity to implement change to really move the organization forward.
CITY museums have donated 500 activity packs for children to enjoy this half term, as it is revealed Worcester Foodbank has had its busiest January since opening in 2012. During January the foodbank fed 926 people – that’s up by about a third on the same month last year. That includes feeding 385 children – up by 57 per cent on the same period last year. The activity packs donated by Museums Worcestershire will give children reliant on the foodbank this half term something to look forward to. Museums Worcestershire learning manager Gemma Dhami says: “School holiday times can be demanding for parents and carers both in terms of time and money. By providing these activity packs via the Foodbanks we hope there is something for each child to feel inspired and have fun this half term”
