READY, SET, GO!
The threat of wildfire has increased nationwide, including in Western Washington. One important step in facing that threat is preparing to communicate quickly with residents and businesses if evacuation from a wildfire or another hazard is necessary. As wildfire season begins here in Washington, Kitsap County joins forces with six other counties to highlight the regional “Ready, Set, Go!” evacuation campaign. The campaign outlines the three evacuation levels and provides straightforward messages that describe actions to take at each level when alerted by authorities.
The "Ready, Set, Go!" evacuation campaign informs the public on how to respond to the three levels of evacuation (traditionally Levels 1, 2, and 3) and prepares them for actions they should take at each level when authorities alert them. This message is intended not only for wildfires but for any hazard that triggers the need for evacuation.
