LAKEPORT— Recent days have brought significant snowfall, life-threatening temperatures, and other challenges, due to compounding winter weather events and weather-related power outages. In consideration of these severe conditions, the County of Lake has provided additional community services, including Warming Centers and a 24/7 Hotline for Homebound Individuals.
With the National Weather Service (NWS) now reporting storm activity is slowing, some of those enhanced services were suspended on Wednesday.
Thereafter, all non-emergency concerns that require Lake County Sheriff/Office of Emergency Services support, including those resulting from winter weather, should be routed to Dispatch, at 707-263-2690. Please use 911 for emergency calls.
Many Lake County residents will be aware, additional rain and sleet is expected Saturday, March 4, through Sunday, March 5; further snowfall is possible, particularly at higher elevations.
Lake County Office of Emergency Services personnel will continue to assess weather conditions, and adjust their response level, as needed.
If enhanced services become available, or Warming Centers will reopen, those availabilities will be communicated at the appropriate time.
