Past emergency for Merced projects
Recovery after the 2017 severe storm declaration (FEMA DR-4301)
FEMA's declaration records list "Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, And Mudslides" (DR-4301) as a major disaster declaration for Merced County. The incident began on January 3, 2017 and ended on January 12, 2017, and the declaration was made on February 14, 2017. This is a county-level record for Merced planning. For a similar storm recovery, identify overnight crews and any interruption to existing washing or meal facilities before sizing a temporary camp. A past event does not mean there is a need today.

Major construction for Merced projects
UC Merced/Merced Community College District “Promise” Intersegmental Student Affordable Housi…
The Promise housing proposal describes 488 student beds in a building of about 130,000 gross square feet, alongside a transfer-student resource center near the campus entrance. It is a collaboration between the university and community-college district. These are future student facilities, not a documented housing allocation for builders.
What to confirm for your crew
For comparable Merced accommodation planning, ask how many contractors will stay overnight during the commissioned phase. Agree their sleeping arrangement and receiving property separately from the student-bed total. The future residence and resource center do not establish usable contractor amenities during construction.
CEQAnet received a Notice of Determination from University of California on January 23, 2025, recording an approval date of January 23, 2025, for "UC Merced/Merced Community College District “Promise” Intersegmental Student Affordable Housing Building" in Merced. The determination filing does not establish the current work phase; confirm the schedule with the project owner.

Major renovation for Merced projects
Hoyt Event Center
The Hoyt proposal repurposes an existing 72-by-64-foot barn into a private event center, with an adjacent parking area. The record says existing structures remain and no new structures are proposed. It is a wider Merced County example, with no project city named in the source.
What to confirm for your crew
For a similar conversion with a Merced crew base, discuss accommodation for the contractors performing the work. Identify the receiving property and the facilities available while the existing building changes use. Event-attendance capacity and future guest amenities are separate from the overnight workforce and the support needed during renovation.
CEQAnet received a Notice of Determination from County of Merced, Department of Community and Economic Development on June 17, 2025, recording an approval date of June 11, 2025, for "Hoyt Event Center" in Merced County, near Eucalyptus Ave and North Buhach Road. The determination filing does not establish the current work phase; confirm the schedule with the project owner. Use this as a wider Merced County example when discussing the actual Merced work site.
