Evacuation Protocols

Ready. Set. Go! It's wildfire season in Chelan County. Do you know the evacuation levels, and what you should be doing at each level? Sgt. Jason Reinfeld of the Chelan County Sheriff's Office and Emergency Management talks about what you can expect if you are in an evacuation area this wildfire season. He also talks about tools you can use to stay updated on evacuations. Watch the Youtube video here.
