By the time an evacuation advisory appeared by text at 2 a.m. Aug. 19, the sky was orange and smoky and the landscape dotted with fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said the notice went out way too late.

By the time an evacuation advisory appeared by text at 2 a.m. Aug. 19, the sky was orange and smoky and the landscape dotted with fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson said the notice went out way too late. She’s surveying neighbors in hopes of improving the system and said 43 of 59 people she talked to didn’t get an alert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yolo County Office of Emergency Services Manager Dana Carey said Friday that officials are looking into what happened but that a quick review indicates phone alerts may have been rejected as robocalls.
