Wildfire Preparedness Resources
There are no current evacuations in Deschutes County. However, now is a good time to review our system for evacuation notices, how to prepare family and loved ones in case an evacuation occurs and get tips on building a go-kit so that you’ll be ready if you need it.
Please visit www.projectwildfire.org/evacuation for more information.
We also encourage residents to sign up for emergency alerts: www.deschutes.org/911/alerts.
By providing contact information, you can opt-in to receive critical emergency messaging via email, phone call, and text during times of disasters. Important messages that could be relayed include notices to evacuate, shelter-in-place, shelter locations, and other extremely important information.
