UNDERSTANDING THE EVACUATION NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

UNDERSTANDING THE EVACUATION NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

Sebastopol is not in imminent danger, but the City Council would like people to be aware of the evacuation notification system.  From our Police Chief: "[Should Sebastopol be ordered to evacuate] we would‎ first utilize the reverse 9-1-1 system via the County, which is a very precise notification system. We would also issue a Nixle Alert and drive through neighborhoods as needed using our Public Address speakers on our patrol cars.” Moral:  please be pro-active and sign up for both SoCo Alert at http://sonomacounty.ca.gov/FES/Emergency-Management/SoCoAlert/ and Nixle alerts via text (by texting your zip code to 888-777) or email (register here:  https://local.nixle.com/register/).
