Heat waves do not elicit the same immediate response as floods, fires, earthquakes, and typical disaster scenarios.  . Heat waves are obviously less dramatic and more deadly. Heat emergencies are often slower to develop. It may take a number of days of oppressive heat for a heat wave to have a significant or quantifiable impact. Additionally, power outages occur frequently during the year, especially in the hotter months. The combination of a power outage and a heat event can cause significant challenges for residents. Guidelines for the City of Calistoga's Power Outage and Cooling in the event of a heat emergency, power outage, or a power outage coupled with a heat emergency can be found HERE.
