Update Per Plumas County Sheriff's Office:

In regard to the Warnings we have recently issued, we wanted to remind everyone what a warning means and what you should be doing if your home has been placed into a warning.

An evacuation warning means: A wildfire threat is in your area. It would be wise to consider planning and/or packing, in the event an evacuation becomes necessary.

You should prepare now by packing necessary items and preparing your family, pets, and vehicle for potential departure. Remember the 6- P’s:

1. Plan for the persons in your family (including a meeting place.)
2. Personal items (including toiletries, food and water for 2-3 days and special personal possessions.)
3. Prescriptions- Have your full, current supply of prescriptions packed.
4. Photographs (and other mementos) which cannot be replaced.
5. Pets (Have a plan in place and pets secured so frightened pets don’t escape fenced yards or kennels.)
6. Papers- Pack all important papers, including reference phone numbers, account numbers, etc.

During a WARNING make plans and consider moving persons with mobility or medical issues!

During a WARNING if you have livestock or large animals, please move them to a safe place!

Please use common sense and evacuate at any time you feel uncomfortable or see active fire behavior.
