KNOWYOUR EMERGENCY EVACUATION ZONES HAVE BEEN UPDATED!

In the event of a large-scale emergency, the City has established emergency evacuation zones for the entire community. Effective Monday, May 1, the revised zones consolidate the previous 41 evacuation zones to 13. All 13 evacuation zones now begin with an "HE" followed by a number. The "HE" differentiates City of Healdsburg evacuation zones from the surrounding County of Sonoma evacuation zones.

In addition to consolidating the number of zones, the new zones also incorporate community feedback, and streamline the color scheme of the zones and boundaries, resulting in an easier to read map.

Community members can view zones and read their boundaries in English and in Spanish, as well as search by address to determine the location of their home and/or work zone(s).

During an emergency, the interactive map will be updated to show which zones are under an evacuation order or warning.

"We encourage all community members to take the time to look up their evacuation zones now - before an emergency occurs," said Healdsburg Emergency Manager Kelsey Carreiro. "Knowing your zone and having an evacuation plan in place can be critical in ensuring your safety, and the safety of your loved ones."

In addition to reviewing the revised evacuation zones, community members are also encouraged to review and practice their own emergency preparedness plan, and take steps to prepare before an emergency occurs.
