Emergency services introduces new evacuation program for Atascadero 

Residents encouraged to ‘Know your zone’

–The City of Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services has introduced a new emergency evacuation program. This program was identified by the Atascadero City Council as a priority in the 2019 strategic planning meeting.

In the event of a wildfire or an emergency situation, law enforcement and fire agencies issue evacuation warnings or evacuation orders for impacted areas. These notices are issued for a zone with an evacuation status. In order to understand whether your area is under an evacuation warning or order, it’s important to know your evacuation zone.

To obtain your zone information, follow these instructions:

• Go to www.atascadero.org/fire
• Click on the Red Bar: “Know your zone now”
• Type in your address! Your zone name will appear.
• Write down your zone and place it in a visible area.
