The
Tehama County Evacuation Guidelines have been created with
the assistance of the California Office of Emergency Services
(OES)
Evacuation
Notification: Residents will be advised of potential hazards and
the possibility of evacuation. Residents should prepare for the
following alternatives and will be given instructions as to travel
routes and safe locations.
Precautionary:
Areas under a “Precautionary Evacuation” are in the influence zone
of the incident. While not immediately in danger, changes in weather and/or hazard
conditions could rapidly cause a threatening situation to occur. (Only residents
with proper identification will be allowed in the affected area.)
Immediate
Threat:
An “Immediate Threat Evacuation” would be issued
when the hazard conditions affect an area
and there is an immediate
threat to life and property. Whenever an area is under “Immediate
Threat”
-- all roads in the area will be closed to incoming
traffic.
Area
Closures:
Whenever an area is under “Immediate Threat”,
roads in the area will be closed by the California Highway
Patrol or
the Sheriffs Department. Only residents with proper identification
will be allowed to enter the affected area. BACK

Lifting
of Evacuation Advisories:
Precautionary evacuation advisories may stay in effect for
several days. However, “Immediate Threat” advisories
should be rescinded when it is determined that the immediate
threat
is over. Road closures will be opened to residents with identification,
only if a precautionary evacuation advisory still exists
