<\/p>\nArnold, CA…A Wildfire Evacuation Planning Town Hall for Greater Arnold residents and homeowners is planned for Saturday, June 3, at the Hazel Fischer Elementary School auditorium (1605 Blagen Road in White Pines) from 9 a.m.- 11 a.m.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the event of a wildfire, we all need to have an evacuation plan so we\u2019re not caught flat-footed,\u201d said District 3 Supervisor Martin Huberty, who is organizing the town hall. \u201cResidents need to know how an evacuation will be announced, as well as, how they can plan to evacuate effectively to Highway 4.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speakers will represent the Calaveras County Sheriff\u2019s Department, Office of Emergency Services (OES), CAL FIRE, Ebbetts Pass Fire District, CHP, Health and Human Services, and the Red Cross.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt our wildfire preparedness event in early May, people commented that after learning more about how to create a defensible space to protect their homes, they wanted to know more about the wildfire evacuation process in Calaveras,\u201d Huberty said.\u00a0 Questions arose like: \u201cWhat is my evacuation zone?\u00a0 How will an evacuation be announced? If I can\u2019t get out, should I shelter in place, go by a lake or get to higher ground?\u00a0 What are some good open areas to go to?\u00a0 Where are shelters going to be? Thinking now about what to do can save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Highlights of the evacuation plans of one homeowner\u2019s association will be shared, as well as details of\u00a0family evacuation plans – from knowing where their cat carrier is to putting the phone numbers of motels in neighboring towns in their phones now.<\/p>\n
Huberty said he also wants to hear from residents on the idea of practicing an evacuation.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s impossible to predict where a fire will start or where the wind will take the embers, but being familiar with basic evacuation plans can make all the difference in the midst of a wildfire.”<\/p>\n
As evacuations are managed by numbered zones, residents are encouraged to determine their evacuation zone by looking up their address at:\u00a0 https:\/\/community\/zonehaven.com\u00a0 Residents are urged to sign up for both emergency communications services: www.nixle.com and the Calaveras Alert Emergency Notification Program: http:\/\/oes.calaverasgov.us\/notifications<\/p>\n
