Disaster Preparedness

Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services--water, gas, electricity, or telephones--were cut off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. Families can cope with disaster by preparing in advance and working together as a team. Knowing what to do is your best protection and your responsibility. 

Make sure you 'Know Your Zone' and visit www.emergency.solanocounty.com to find your emergency evacuation zone name. Write your zone name down and post it somewhere that is easy to find. Authorities will use zone names in emergency alerts to notify resident which areas are affected.

Evacuation Warning	There is a potential threat to life and/or property. Those who require additional time to evacuate, and those with pets and/or livestock are encouraged to leave now.
Shelter in Place	Go indoors. Shut and lock your doors and windows and be prepared to self-sustain until further notice and/or you are contacted by emergency personnel for additional direction.
Evacuation Orders Lifted	This is the formal announcement lifting evacuations in an area currently under evacuation.
Hard Closure	Closed to all traffic except Fire and Law Enforcement.
Soft Closure	Closed to all traffic except Fire, Law Enforcement, and critical incident resources (i.e. utility, Caltrans, City/County Roads, or those needed to repair or restore infrastructure.)
Resident Only Closure	Soft closure with the additional allowance of residents and local government agencies assisting with response and recovery.
