🚨 Evacuation Zone Updates – Know Your Zone, Stay Ready🚨
As fire season approaches, the Siskiyou County Office of Emergency Services and our fire agency partners have made important updates to evacuation zones to better serve and protect our communities.
✅ There are TWO key changes you need to know:
1️⃣ Zone Numbers or Boundaries may have changed – some zones were split or adjusted to improve local response.
2️⃣ Zone Prefixes have been updated – they now reflect your specific community for easier recognition.

➡️ For example:
• Greenview was previously under SIS, it’s now GVW
• Montague is now listed as MTG

These changes were made thoughtfully and intentionally—to make evacuation info clearer, faster, and more community-specific. Even if your zone looks familiar, double check to make sure nothing has changed.

🔥 With hot weather and fire conditions on the rise, now is the time to:
🔍 Look up your zone: https://protect.genasys.com/search
📲 Sign up for ReadySiskiyou-Alerts: https://alerts.readysiskiyou.gov

We know change can be hard—but this update is for the better and for your safety. Our #1 priority is keeping you informed, prepared, and protected.
Please share this important update with your friends, neighbors, and family!
