Disaster Preparedness - Ready, Get Set, Go

Now that you have learned how to protect your home and property from a wildfire, it's time to prepare your family for the fire threat and possible evacuation by developing your personal plan ahead of time. The Ready, Set, Go, program provides a step-by-step guideline for preparing your own evacuation plan ahead of a crisis. Ready, Set, Go works in conjunction with evacuation levels established by the Oregon State Sheriff's Association that will be initiated during any emergency requiring a potential evacuation.

Emergency Evacuation

If a wildfire threatens an area, the following Oregon State Sheriffs Association guide to evacuations as adopted by Josephine County will be initiated. Note that it may not be possible for emergency personnel to contact you directly to notify you of each level of evacuation. It is important that you prepare ahead of time to evacuate and monitor media outlets for current information as it applies to your area. When in doubt, evacuate.
