Please see the post below from the Siskiyou County Office of Emergency Services regarding updates to the zones. Be sure to click on the link and put in your address in order to see what your zone is.

🚨 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!
