Evacuation Warnings vs Orders

As a Central Coast resident, I know we are unfortunately no stranger to how quickly disasters can happen. Timing really is everything. When in doubt: do not wait, evacuate. 

●    Listen and watch for evacuation warnings and orders. 
●    An evacuation warning means get ready to leave. 
●    If you need extra time to leave because of children, older adults, people with access and functional needs or pets and livestock, then leave during an evacuation warning.
●    An evacuation order means leave immediately. Do not wait because your life and your family are in danger.
