An evacuation exercise is planned for part of Mark West Springs. The Sonoma County Department of Emergency Management will hold the exercise next weekend on Sunday, June 11th at 9 AM for the upper Mark West Springs watershed community. The exercise is to help residents get to know designated evacuation routes. If you live in the area, you will have a chance to safely practice evacuating using those routes. The county will also exercise the SoCoAlert system to notify participating residents. If you aren’t already signed up, now it the time to register for the county’s alert system. The evacuation location will be at Maria Carillo High School’s main parking lot. At the school, there will also be a resource fair with emergency partners providing information on how to prepare homes, families and pets in the event of a real emergency. You can find out more at SoCoTest.org.
