I Understand Return Home
The best evacuation route is usually the one you know best. Take the fastest route to the valley floor and town, away from the fire if possible. Under smoke and fire conditions, you may not even recognize your own street. Street signs may not be visible (or present). The route you know best is the one you'll be most likely to recognize under stress, and is usually the fastest way out of your neighborhood and to safety.
Please note: the primary and secondary evacuation routes identified on these maps are options for fire and law to consider when creating a notification. Based on the nature of the incident, if possible, evacuation routes will be identified and placed into the notification message.
