In the spirit of emergency preparedness, the Sonoma County Sheriff’s office are giving away something called Evacuation tags. During an natural disaster, residents tie the tag in a location that is highly visible when they evacuate like a fence post, mailbox, or door handle. This will save time for deputies doing it themselves and allow them to quickly check the home.
Tags currently are available for pick up during business hours at the following locations:
• Sonoma County Sheriff’s Main Office, 2796 Ventura Ave., Santa Rosa
• Main Adult Detention Facility, 2777 Ventura Ave., Santa Rosa
• Valley Substation, 810 B Grove St., Sonoma
