Back to School Safety – Know Your Evacuation Zones

As school starts up again the Office of Emergency Services (OES) reminds the community to know the Evacuation Zone of your home, work and children’s school. In the event of a wildfire or an emergency situation, law enforcement and fire agencies issue evacuation warnings or evacuation orders for impacted areas called Zones.

To find your Evacuation Zones: 

  1. Visit Protect.Genasys.com       
  2. Enter your address into the search bar
  3. Find your Zones and write them down
