All families and individuals regardless of age should have a wildfire evacuation plan. Elderly persons and those with disabilities should plan to leave early and not return unless allowed to do so. Fire, Lifeguard and Sheriff Departments’ priority is protection of life. Plans are in place to notify neighborhoods and assist with evacuations.
