Emergency Preparedness

                              HAMMOND LANDOWNERS EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM 

                                                             PHONE TREE ON HIATUS

Regrettably, due to multiple factors (change in fire department configuration, difficulties recruiting volunteers), the phone tree will be on hiatus for the foreseeable future. 

AS ALWAYS, WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL RANCH RESIDENTS TO SIGN UP WITH SISKIYOU COUNTY CODE RED. (https://www.co.siskiyou.ca.us/emergencyservices/page/codered-emergency-alert). 

Real-time Siskiyou County dispatch communications can be followed here: https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/ctid/229. CALFIRE Siskiyou can be followed on Facebook and Twitter (@CALFIRESKU). Presently, Hammond Ranch Fire Zone tweets their emergency responses, as well. Their handle is @HMM4200.

The Facebook group Siskiyou Alerts – Fire and Emergency uses a dedicated group of volunteers to monitor local public safety communications and post information on their page. Additionally, their Announcements tab (https://www.facebook.com/groups/SiskiyouAlerts/announcements) has many useful resource links.

We will be notifying phone tree participants separately via phone tree activation, phone,  or email. Thank you for your understanding while we re-evaluate the phone tree functionality.

Regards, HLA and the Phone Tree Volunteers

PREPARING FOR WILDFIRE SEASON

Jay Perkins, of the Yreka Fire Safe Council, has created an excellent series of articles regarding wildfire risk mitigation and preparedness. Here is the link to their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/yrekafiresafety. 

Additionally, the link has been posted to the HLA website, and Larie Wearing has graciously agreed to repost the weekly updates to the Hammond Ranch Next Door page. In this way, we are hoping to reach the maximum number of residents with this very important and helpful series.

TEST AREA - POSSIBLE NEW ALERT METHOD

     A system is being investigated  for relaying notification text messages from emergency personnel to subscribers in the event of an emergency in or near Hammond Ranch.  This system  would allow HLA to send the alert message to ALL subscribers at once, replacing the existing Telephone Tree System that relied on many individuals to pass the messages.  That system had many opportunities for error.  

   This is in an experimental stage at this time.  If it becomes a viable method for relaying emergency messages, we will update this page and ask that people SUBSCRIBE (Opt-in) in order to be included.     

     You do not have to be an HLA member to participate.

                TEST LINK TO HLA EMERGENCY ALERT SUBSCRIPTION FORM:

                 TEST LINK TO HLA EMERGENCY ALERT UNSUBSCRIBE FORM:

This area is under construction:  You are free to try one of these subscription forms, but at this time they are not actively being monitored.

PRIVACY POLICY:  under construction.

 The HLA Emergency Alert System does NOT take the place of the Code Red Alert System in place for Siskiyou County residents.  We urge all Hammond Ranch landowners to sign up for the Code Red Alerts by clicking ​the link below or by texting  SISQCODERED to 99411 .  https://www.co.siskiyou.ca.us/emergencyservices/page/codered-emergency-alert-system      Make sure in your settings you choose to get notifications farther away than 20 miles.
