 When disaster strikes, residents may be asked to evacuate their homes. To help Santa Rosa households better prepare in the event of an emergency evacuation, the City of Santa Rosa has created an evacuation planning toolkit which can be found at srcity.org slash Know Your Ways Out. On the toolkit landing page, you will find a pre-evacuation checklist, evacuation alerting tools information, preparedness tips, evacuation planning route maps, and frequently asked questions. Let's briefly review each area. Pre-evacuation checklist. During emergencies requiring an evacuation, our goal is to provide you with advanced notifications using the new systems we have in place to give you time to prepare. The pre-evacuation checklist provides a list of actions that you and your household should take to better prepare yourselves and your property before leaving. We recommend that you print this checklist and keep a copy near your front door, on the refrigerator, or next to the garage door opener so you know where to quickly find it during an emergency. Evacuation alerting tools. In this area, you will find a message from Police Chief Navarro explaining that Santa Rosa Police and Fire Department vehicles are outfitted with high-low sirens that will be used in addition to the city's traditional alert and warning systems. You will also hear the siren tone, which, by the way, sounds like this. You will also find information on the city's opt-in emergency alert system SoCo Alert. You will be able to sign up to receive SoCo Alerts from this webpage if you have not done so already. Preparedness tips. Here, you will find suggestions on things your household should do now to be better prepared in the face of disaster, such as making sure everyone knows how to manually open the garage door, shut off your gas, or ensure you have the right items pre-packed in your go-bag. Evacuation planning route maps. Scroll to the Evacuation Planning Route Map tool. Here, you can search your address to learn all the recommended ways out of your neighborhood. Depending on the emergency, the safest route out of your neighborhood may not be the typical route you would take, so public safety officials want to make sure you know every route. A link to a PDF of your evacuation planning area will appear on the screen, which you may download and print to share with every member of your household. You can also search for your map in the list of neighborhoods slash geographical areas provided on the webpage below the mapping tool. Finally, if you are looking for more information or have a question, be sure to refer to our frequently asked questions. Find the answer to questions such as, How will I know if I should evacuate? and What do the different types of evacuation notices mean? And if you still have questions after reviewing this information, please contact us at 707-543-350 or SRFD at srcity.org. The City of Santa Rosa wants to ensure your household is well prepared for the next emergency. Thank you.
