The Department of Homeland Security released a list naming regions that do not fully follow federal immigration law, with Northern California areas such as Sacramento, Yolo, San Joaquin and El Dorado counties included.

The list came after an executive order threatened to cut federal funds, and local officials said they would work to correct the list (Placer County was not included).

A new county-by-county guide now provides key emergency resources for wildfire preparedness, including how to sign up for alerts and access evacuation maps and local updates.

Residents are advised to review the list as fire season begins — careful planning is essential — to help keep them safe during any wildfire emergency.
