SCU Lightning Complex Fire, August 2020

News about how SCU Lightning Complex Fire is affecting us here in Milpitas, California.

Evacuation Map
Closeup of Evacuation Map as of 8/20 8:30AM

Mandatory evacuation area seems to include Whispering Hills Ranch and other horse ranches in the hills, Silva’s apricot orchard, Kim Parker’s Last Word Ranch, and possibly both adobe houses. GoMilpitas is located at the blob I hastily drew in the corner of Yosemite and Piedmont roads, safe for now, but smoky. Bill Hare, who produces world famous a cappella mixes from his home up at Calaveras and Felter roads, is also being evacuated. On his property is the historic Laguna one-room school, the first in Milpitas. Larger area map here.

Evacuation Resource Center for Santa Clara County Residents Available at Milpitas Library
An evacuation resource center at the Milpitas Library is available for residents of Santa Clara County who have been ordered to leave their homes because of the threat from the SCU Lightning Complex fire, which is growing and remains largely uncontained.

The resource center will be staffed by the American Red Cross and serve to assess the needs of individuals and families impacted by the evacuations and determine appropriate resources. It is not a shelter but serves to assist residents with temporary relocation.

All residents under an evacuation order are urged to take rapid action and leave the area immediately ahead of the fast-moving and unpredictable wildfire.

Handling Stress after a Disaster or Traumatic Incident

Memorial for those killed

Dear Neighbors,

Every month we provide tips on how to prepare for emergencies and disasters. This month, we offer resources for individuals and families to help manage stress in the aftermath of the mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival and subsequent incidents in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.

After a major traumatic event, it is important to take care of yourself and your family. A traumatic event can have a major impact on health and well-being, even if you or a family member were not directly affected. Below are some resources that might be helpful:

1. If you were involved in a disaster, terrorism, or a traumatic event like a car crash, you may be affected personally regardless of whether you were hurt or lost a loved one. It is common to show signs of stress after exposure to a disaster or other traumatic event, and it is important to monitor your physical and emotional health. For more information on how to manage stress and Tips for Survivors of a Disaster or Other Traumatic Event – visit:

2. The Disaster Distress Helpline, 1-800-985-5990, is a 24/7, 365-day-a-year, national hotline dedicated to providing immediate crisis counseling for people who are experiencing emotional distress related to any natural or human-caused disaster. This toll-free, multilingual, and confidential crisis support service is available to all residents in the United States and its territories. Stress, anxiety, and other depression-like symptoms are common reactions after a disaster. Call 1-800-985-5990 or text TalkWithUs to 66746 to connect with a trained crisis counselor.

We hope these resources will provide a means of emotional support and help restore and maintain a sense of safety and well-being for you and your family.

Sincerely,

Office of Emergency Management
