About Evacuation Levels 

• Level 1: Be Ready long before an evacuation. 
  • Know Your Zone! View the Evacuation Map   
  • Sign up for Ashland Citizen Alert system by texting 97520 to 888777 as the recipient or go to ashland.or.us/alerts to sign up with email or an unlisted landline
  • Check that your radio can tune to 1700 AM radio as another information source during emergencies
  • ​Prepare a "Go Kit" for each family member, and have a plan for pets and family members with special needs. View our Evacuation Checklist
  • Keep your evacuation vehicle gas tank full or fully charged if electric

• Level 2: Be Set by maintaining situational awareness when an emergency threatens.
  • ​Be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice with "Go Kits" in your evacuation vehicle
  • Consider evacuating at Level 2 if your family needs extra time or if conditions feel unsafe for you
  • This may be the only evacuation notice you receive if conditions worsen rapidly, so leave if conditions feel unsafe. You can't leave too early 

• Level 3: Go! Leave promptly when evacuation orders are given or when safety feels compromised. Do not wait and leave too late
  • ​Leave IMMEDIATELY. Do not spend further time collecting additional belongings 
  • You will not be able to return until conditions are safe 
  • Evacuation routing can change as an event unfolds. Continue monitoring the City Alert System. Sign up NOW if you have not done so previously, ashland.or.us/Alerts
