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.
