Know Your Evacuation Zone in the Event of an Emergency

During the hot, dry season of autumn, there is a serious risk of wildfires. It is important to know your evacuation plan and evacuation zone. Alameda County has partnered with Genasys Protect (formerly ZoneHaven) to help residents identify their evacuation zone, stay up to date on their evacuation status, and follow incident progress. In addition to syncing with AC Alert, the platform models traffic and fire-spreading scenarios, providing real-time weather, traffic, and shelter information. To identify your evacuation zone, visit genasys and type in your home address.

Residents should also sign up for emergency notifications through AC Alert. When disaster strikes, every second counts, so it is critical that you stay informed on the latest public safety information. AC Alert is an ultra-high-speed telephonic communication service that allows local authorities to telephone targeted areas during an emergency situation that requires immediate action, such as evacuation orders, utility outages, and more. Contact information for landlines is already built into the system; however, if you no longer have a landline phone at your home, you must register your mobile device and e-mail address with AC Alert in order to receive notifications.
