*Red Flag Warnings & Emergency Preparedness Information*

A *Red Flag Warning* is issued to alert the community of critical weather conditions and potential fire hazards, typically within the next 12 to 24 hours. These conditions are characterized by a combination of dry brush and strong winds that create a heightened risk for fires.

As of Thursday, the City of Culver City has not experienced significant damage from this weather event. However, it is important to understand how we will communicate with you during an emergency, what the different notifications mean, and how you can best prepare for potential risks.

*What Happens If a Fire Starts Nearby?*

*Evacuation Warning:* If a fire were to ignite in a neighboring city, the strong winds could cause the fire to spread into Culver City. In such cases if an area of the city were to be at risk, we would issue an Evacuation Warning. An Evacuation Warning designates an area that could be at risk, and we recommend that residents who need extra time to evacuate—such as those with pets—consider evacuating during this stage to ensure a safe departure.

*Evacuation Order:* If a fire were to threaten a specific area of Culver City, we would issue an Evacuation Order. This means that the area is immediately unsafe, and all residents within the affected zone are required to evacuate and seek shelter. Access to the area will be restricted, and individuals will not be allowed to return to their homes, even to retrieve belongings.

*How Will Residents Be Notified?*

In the event of an emergency, we will use multiple communication methods to alert the public:


* *Everbridge Emergency Notification System*
* Door-to-door notifications
* Sirens and public address (PA) systems

*If you haven’t already signed up for emergency notifications, please do so as soon as possible* to ensure you receive timely updates.
