🔥 Evacuating early can save lives.

When wildfire evacuation notices are issued, every minute matters.

If you or someone in your household may need extra time to evacuate, consider leaving one evacuation level earlier. This can help you avoid traffic, reduce stress, and get to safety before conditions change.

You may want to leave early if your household includes:
🏥 Someone who relies on medical equipment or oxygen
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Young children
🐶 Pets
🐴 Livestock
♿ Someone with mobility or access and functional needs

Planning ahead today can make all the difference during an emergency.

✅ Sign up for local emergency alerts at ORAlert.gov
🔥 Stay informed about fires, evacuations, shelters, and resources at wildfire.oregon.gov

Please follow evacuation instructions from local officials and don't wait until conditions become dangerous.
