The city of San Carlos will be conducting a neighborhood evacuation exercise for community members in the Crestview neighborhood Saturday, June 8, to help educate and prepare the community for a possible evacuation in the event of a wildfire.
Participants who have registered for the exercise will be notified of an evacuation route and meeting point through SMC Alert at approximately 7 a.m. June 8. At the end of the event, the community will have an opportunity to meet and speak with local firefighters, learn more about wildfire preparedness and explore firefighting equipment. The incident command post for the exercise will be stationed at the Pulgas Water Temple, located at 56 Cañada Road in Redwood City, according to the city.
This wildfire evacuation exercise follows two community meetings on wildfire preparedness held by the city in April 2019. For more information on preparing for the threat of wildfires and keeping your home and your family safe visit cityofsancarlos.org/wildfire.
