Dear Colleagues,
Through Wednesday, California is expecting rounds of heavy rain, mountain snow, high winds, with potential for flooding, downed trees/debris and power outages. Please stay safe.
If you live near a river, levee or area prone to flooding, gather your essentials so you'll be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice. You'll have some peace of mind if you have gathered items in advance to be away from your home if evacuation orders are given by authorities. Also, prepare for power outages by having electronic devices charged, vehicles fueled, and the ability to prepare food and stay warm.
This is a good time to review your procedures for preparedness, such as the ability to stay informed and to be able...
Power has been restored to the 2nd Street Building in Davis and it is fully operational. If you are planning to work at the ANR Building, you may do so.
2nd Street is closed currently to all traffic for a section of road west of our office, between L St and Cantrill Drive. It is not known how long this closure will remain in effect. However, the ANR Building is accessible from 2nd Street from the east (coming from the Mace Blvd exit off I-80) and from Pena Drive.
Rainy conditions are predicted to continue throughout the week, but hopefully we have gotten through the worst of it.
Stay safe and dry and follow these winter storm preparedness tips:

Weather forecasts predict another series of storms to affect most of the state next week, bringing heavy rains and potential for flooding in some areas. Based on this information, for Monday and Tuesday ((Jan. 9 and 10)), we are encouraging supervisors to demonstrate flexibility to allow employees who can work remotely to do so. This can help reduce the number of employees who need to commute to work during the storms, avoiding unsafe road conditions.
Please Take the Following Actions
- Consult with your supervisor to determine if remote work is appropriate for your duties and local conditions.
- Understand that some employees' job duties require them to be on site to serve clientele,...
California is expecting another major storm beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 4, through Jan. 5. This storm is expected to bring rain statewide, with the highest rainfall totals and potential local flooding in Northern California.
In light of threat to roads and freeways in many areas, ANR's emergency management team suggests that supervisors may demonstrate maximum flexibility to reduce the number of employees on streets and to minimize the number of employees who need to commute to work during the storm. Local and regional power outages are likely during the storm and employees working remotely may lose power/internet/cell connectivity.
Please Take the Following Actions
