Office of Emergency Services

The Emergency Zones Map is a countywide tool, powered by Genasys, to assist the public in understanding where emergency protective measures, including evacuations and shelter in place, are in effect throughout the county. During an emergency, law and fire officials in the field will use they Genasys system to identify zones that would be placed under protective measures. The Genasys system may also be used to publicize temporary evacuation points, sheltering locations, traffic control points, and road closures.
