How to use the Emergency Incidents Map

The Chelan County Emergency Incidents Map has a search function where you can type in your address to see if you are in an evacuation zone. The icon looks like a magnifying glass and is at the top of the page, both on our website and your cell phone.

The search function uses postal abbreviations. It doesn’t matter if you use capital or lowercase letters, but you must use the postal abbreviations:

Rd, St, Ave, Ln, Dr, Pl, Blvd, Cir, Ct, Crst, Xing, Hwy, Lndg, Pkwy, Plz, Pt, Rdg, Sq, Ter, Trl, Tunl, Vis, and Vw

Also, when typing in South Lakeshore Road, it must be typed in as: s lakeshore rd

Other tips when using the emergency incidents map:

  • When using the search function, do not use periods.
  • The more you zoom in, the easier it will be to see road names, cities and towns, or your home.
  • There are 18 different basemaps, all under Basemap Gallery. Use the basemap that works best for you. The map pops up as a “topographic” map, but you may want to use the “street” map or “imagery hybrid” map, for example, to get a better feel for surroundings.
  • If you are going to leave the map open on your phone or desktop, refresh it before using in case levels have changed.
  • Evacuation levels are in English and Spanish.
  • Our evacuation alerts are posted automatically to our Facebook page through Everbridge. That means they will always be posted before our GIS technician with Rivercom is able to update the map. So be patient – someone is working on updating the map.
