United Way of Nevada County operates the Buddy Evacuation Team (BET), a community program that connects volunteers (“Buddies”) with residents (“Participants”) who may need help preparing for or evacuating during emergencies. 

How it works:

• Buddies help residents create go-bags and evacuation plans
• Both receive emergency alerts and readiness training
• During warnings, Buddies check in and coordinate help if needed
