Solano County Launches Emergency Evacuation Zone Technology

SOLANO COUNTY - The Solano County Office of Emergency Services together with our public safety partners are excited to announce the “Know Your Zone” campaign, a collaborative effort between Zonehaven, and Solano County, including all seven cities, which aims to better prepare residents and businesses for emergencies and evacuations.

To find your zone, residents can enter their address into the interactive map on Zonehaven AWARE at community. zonehaven.com using the search bar in the upper left. This will open a pop-up window, which includes the zone name and information about the zone. Residents and businesses should record the names of all the zones they frequent--such as home, work, school, or homes of loved ones-and keep them in a visible place. Use the “Subscribe to Alerts,” button, located under

the “Community Links” section, to sign up for emergency notifications through Alert Solano.

Zone names, in addition to the zone boundaries, will be used in emergency notifications, so knowing the name of your zone is critical to staying informed during an emergency. In the event of an emergency, first responders and other public safety officials will use Zonehaven to assist in issuing evacuations. From there, officials will publish evacuation orders and zone statuses to Zonehaven AWARE (community. zonehaven. com) and send emergency notifications via Alert Solano.

Residents can see up to date information about their zone through the Zonehaven AWARE platform. Remember to always follow directions from emergency responders.

Follow your local emergency response agencies on social media and be sure to “Know Your Zone.”
