IF YOU FEEL UNSAFE, YOU SHOULD LEAVE THE AREA WITHOUT WAITING FOR AN EVACUATION NOTICE.

IF YOU SEE A WILDFIRE AND HAVEN’T SEEN EVACUATION ORDERS YET, CALL 911

A Community Prepared

During a fire, our community responsibility is to respond in a manner that reduces risks to ourselves, our families, and our property.  Evacuation advisories are issued quickly as conditions warrant and no single method of communication is fail safe.  During a fire, monitor local radio stations, talk to responders and emergency management personnel, and stay connected to trusted social media sites.

  • Ensure that your family and workers know evacuation routes, meeting locations, safe zones, and how to contact you.
  • Keep apprised of the status of the fire:  location, size, proximity to home or harvest operations.
  • Listen to weather updates.
  • Abide by fire precaution levels, burn bans, and emergency responder warnings.
  • Evacuation Alerts will be used to notify residents, businesses, and landowners.  You do NOT need to wait until you are notified to leave.
