This is Yuba City’s All-Hazard Evacuation Map(Download map), which is comprised of 35 sub-zones. This evacuation map is based on lessons learned from other disasters, which allows first responders to isolate a single neighborhood and/or evacuee larger portions of the City in a safe and efficient manner. Utilizing the Emergency Notification System (CodeRed Sign-up), citizens in these sub-zones may receive one of three types of emergency notifications:
- Evacuation Warning
- Alerts people in an affected are of a potential threat to life and property.
- Let’s people know that if they need additional time to evacuate, that they should consider leaving during this time.
- Prepares people for potential Evacuation Order.
- Evacuation Order (Mandatory)
- Immediate movement of people out of the area
- Staying risks the life of civilians and First Responders
- This is a lawful order to leave now
- The area is lawfully closed to public access
- Advises people to stay secure at their current location by remaining in place as evacuation will cause a higher potential for loss of life.
Yuba City Fire may be involved in several types of public safety notifications based upon the complexity and/or severity of the Incident, which may include:
- Chemical Spills and HazMat Incidents
- Wildfire Events
- Flooding or High-Water Events
- Active Shooter Situations
- Power Outages
- Severe Weather
In addition, this evacuation map identifies four Community Relocation Centers. These are not evacuation sites; however, these locations are capable of transitioning into an Evacuation Shelter and/or grouping evacuees in a safe location for a limited time. These pre-established Community Relocation Centers allow First Responders to immediately evacuate citizens in a hazard zone without the delay of establishing a full evacuation site.
