🏔️ Shasta County
~182,000 peopleShasta County is the urban heart of the northern region—Redding is the largest city north of Sacramento. But "urban" is relative: Shasta is surrounded by forests, mountains, and the iconic Mount Shasta. The Carr Fire and other disasters showed how vulnerable even larger communities are.
