that voluntary evacuations are being advised for those living in the Town of
Yolo and the Willow Oak areas.  If you, or someone you know, is in need of
transportation to the evacuation center (Yolo County Fairgrounds), you may
call OES at 666-8944 and they will patch you into the YOLOBUS office to
arrange for a ride.  

 

For Woodland:

 

 Based on current predictions Cache Creek is to expected overflow (~4 pm
Sat. Dec. 31st), when this occurs there is a possibility that the levee will
fail.  Areas likely to be affected are North of Main St. West of East St. &

reasonable steps to prepare your family and property.
