Community Safety Hub
Security isn't only about a contracted patrol or a locked gate — much of what keeps a neighborhood safe happens between neighbors: knowing who lives next door, having a family plan before an emergency hits, and knowing which official agency to call for what. This hub collects free, plain-language guides on those topics for anyone in the Sacramento region, not just our clients.
We are a licensed private patrol operator, not an emergency management agency. Every guide here links to the real government and nonprofit resources that hold the authoritative, current information — Ready.gov, Cal OES, Sacramento County Office of Emergency Services, 211 Sacramento, and SMUD. Use this hub as a starting point and the official sources as the source of truth.
PPO #122730Emergency preparedness
Family plans and readiness for wildfire, flood, heat, and outages.
- Building a Family Emergency Plan: A Free Sacramento GuideA family emergency plan covers three basics: how you'll communicate if separated, where you'll meet if you can't go home, and what's in a go-bag for each household member — Ready.gov's official templates walk through each step and are the best starting point for building one.Read
- Wildfire & Smoke Readiness for Sacramento-Area HouseholdsSacramento-area wildfire and smoke readiness centers on knowing your evacuation zone ahead of time, keeping an N95 or better mask and a portable air purifier on hand for smoke days, and checking the official AirNow and Cal Fire sites during fire season rather than relying on secondhand reports.Read
- Flood Readiness in Sacramento's Levee-Protected NeighborhoodsMuch of Sacramento, including areas like the Pocket and Natomas, sits behind levees in a river floodplain, so flood readiness means knowing your property's official FEMA flood zone designation, understanding levee-failure risk is different from riverine flooding risk, and knowing evacuation routes in advance rather than during an active storm.Read
- Extreme Heat Safety for Sacramento SummersSacramento regularly sees extended stretches of extreme summer heat, and the most effective safety steps are checking on neighbors who are elderly, live alone, or lack air conditioning, knowing the location of official cooling centers, and recognizing heat-illness symptoms early rather than waiting for them to become severe.Read
- Power Outage Safety & Preparedness in the Sacramento AreaFor power outage safety in the Sacramento area, check SMUD's official outage map first to confirm scope and estimated restoration time, keep a flashlight and battery radio rather than relying on candles, and never run a generator indoors or in an attached garage due to carbon monoxide risk.Read

Responding together
What to do when something happens.
- How and When to Report Suspicious Activity in SacramentoCall 911 for anything in progress or involving immediate danger; use your local police or sheriff's non-emergency line for suspicious activity that has already occurred or shows no immediate threat — and when reporting, focus on specific, observable details (time, location, description) rather than assumptions about intent.Read
- Supporting Unhoused Neighbors Safely: A Community GuideThe most effective and humane response to encountering an unhoused neighbor is connecting them with official outreach and services — through 211 Sacramento or the county's homeless response system — rather than confrontation; property-specific trespassing concerns on private property should go through the property manager and, if needed, official reporting channels, handled with dignity.Read
