Currently, the City is closely monitoring the rains and potential for flooding. As rains continue roofs with snow will increasingly gain weight with potential for collapse. Consider clearing off your roofs for your safety. If major flooding occurs sandbags are available at public works. The community center is on standby and will open in the event of evacuations. If you are in an emergency situation please call 911
Multiple days of rain upon fresh snow is predicted. If you're concerned about flooding at your home, City of Dunsmuir provides free sand and sandbags to local residents. Sandbags are located within the Public Works Yard, at the UP Railyard, across from Amtrak. Look under the awning and tarp.

Caltrans Road Charge Pilot Program meeting Thursday 3/9/23 at 6pm community center
Make sure to come out to Dunsmuir this upcoming Thursday to learn more about the Caltrans Road Charge Pilot Program.
On Thursday, March 9th at 6:00 pm at Dunsmuir Community Center, 4841 Dunsmuir Ave, Dunsmuir, Caltrans will be holding a meeting to discuss potential changes to how road maintenance is funded. Caltrans is looking for drivers interested in participating in a pilot program where those qualified could earn up to $250.
The state gas tax funds much of our road repair. As many Californians switch to more fuel-efficient or electric vehicles, they buy less gasoline and pay less or no gas tax, which means less funding for our roads and a higher share of costs for those with older or less fuel-efficient vehicles. As a result, California is exploring a per mile fee, or road charge, as a fairer, more transparent, and more sustainable way to fund our roads.
California is launching a seven-month road charge pilot focused on rural and tribal communities. Qualify and earn up to $250 for participating in the pilot. Learn more and sign up: https://caroadcharge.com/engage/contact-us/
Come Thursday night to learn about how the state is trying to plan for the future of transportation funding and provide your input on how you think the state should move forward.
If unable to attend in person, the briefing will be streamed. https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89629808019

Dunsmuir Fire Dept. Press Release
Dunsmuir, Calif. – Dunsmuir Fire Department is the recipient of a $150,000 grant to purchase new extrication equipment. Known as the “jaws of life,” first responders use these specialized tools to safely rescue crash victims trapped inside a vehicle.
“This new equipment will help reduce the time it takes for us to safely reach someone who needs immediate medical attention,” said Dunsmuir Fire Department Fire Chief Daniel Padilla . “The OTS grant funding will give us the opportunity to purchase modern rescue tools and provide training to first responders that is critical for the care of those injured in crashes.” In 2021 fire departments in Northern Shasta and Southern Siskiyou Counties, responded to 313 traffic crashes in which 38 required extrications.
Delays in providing care to crash victims impacts the “golden hour” of survival, a core principle in the emergency medical services industry. Reducing the time, it takes to get to the patient, treat what can be treated, and transport the patient to the hospital helps increase the chance for recovery.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
