Overview
- The warning covers both sides of Neeley Road between River Lane and Montesano Avenue and the east side of Orchard Avenue between River Lane and Montesano Avenue.
- The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office shared a photo of a house perched on a cliff and said the alert was issued after 5 p.m. Monday.
- Residents were told to gather medications, identification, and key documents, know at least two evacuation routes, check on neighbors, and monitor county emergency resources and the interactive incident map.
- KTVU reports the unoccupied home hangs over a steep slope as rain, erosion, and settling trees raise concern that debris or the structure could reach the road or nearby houses.
- A geotechnical consultant not involved with the property told KTVU that sustained wet weather and possible professional lapses often contribute to soil slippage, while the site lies near where a different home once collapsed into the Russian River.
