🔥 Do You Know Your Evacuation Zone?

As fire season continues across Southern Oregon, now is a good time to take a few simple preparedness steps that could make a big difference during an emergency.

Josephine County has launched the Know Your Zone Challenge, encouraging residents to:
✔️ Learn their evacuation zone
✔️ Sign up for Citizen Alerts

The Genasys Protect map allows you to search your address and identify your evacuation zone before an emergency happens.

Check your zone here:
👉 https://protect.genasys.com/search

Stay informed. Stay prepared. Help spread the word throughout our community.
