  • To receive updates for your evacuation zones, please visit Genasys Project External Link

    Before law enforcement officials can re-open evacuation zones, it’s crucial to ensure that hazards are mitigated in the fire area. Even in evacuation zones where homes may not have been damaged, many cooperators are working to mitigate hazards like fallen power lines, burned out guard rails, and clearing significant wind damaged trees and other debris. Wait for official clearance before heading back and follow officials’ safety precautions once allowed in.

    Residents seeking re-entry will be required to provide proof of residency when approaching roadblocks. Acceptable forms of identification include a government-issued photo ID that clearly displays the resident's name, photo, and physical address. These measures are in place to facilitate a safe and organized re-entry process.
