Know your evacuation zone!
Evacuating portions of the county or local jurisdiction may be required in the event of an emergency. Evacuations protect life by keeping people clear of hazardous conditions. The evacuation zones are based upon topographic, infrastructure, threat, and census data. If an evacuation is ordered, officials will reference the evacuation zone name in the public messaging.
