Know Your Zone

Banner that says Know Your Zone

We want you to be prepared during all seasons for potential evacuations. In the event of evacuation warnings and confirmed evacuations, law enforcement and fire agencies stress the importance for residents to Know Your Zone...your Evacuation Zone. 

Evacuation warnings/notices and repopulation notices are issued based on protection zones. Zones are identified by letters and numbers. The first three letters identify the geographic community name. Each community is further subdivided into numerical zones (e.g., SCO-E018, ZAY-E004). Residents are urged to Know Your Zone by looking up your address on the Community Evacuation Map (see Web Link below).

Step-by-step instructions:

  • Use the *Know Your Zone link below or click here.
  • Type your street address into the "Search an address" field.
  • Click on the correct address that appears in the box as you type (you may need to scroll down).
  • A box will appear inside the map revealing your Zone ID (e.g., SCZ-E030, BOU-E028), evacuation status/information, as well as your Fire/Police agencies of jurisdiction.
