No evacuation orders have been given, but residents asked to be prepared
More than 100 homes near the Nakia Creek Fire were sent emergency notifications on Monday night, asking people to be prepared for the possibility of evacuation.
Most of the homes were given Level 1 Notices – Be Ready.
A little more than a dozen homes fell under the Level 2 Notice of Be Set.
None of the addresses at the time were under Level 3: Go Now.
The notices are voluntary and precautionary. Those living in these areas should take steps to prepare to go and make plans to relocate any livestock that is in the impacted areas.
The Clark Regional Emergency Services (CRESA) is working on providing a better fire perimeter map as well as providing additional information some time Tuesday.
A reminder, here are what each level of notice means:
Level 1: Be Ready. Residents should be aware of the danger that exists in their area and monitor local media outlets for information. Residents with special needs should take note and begin making arrangements to evacuate. Evacuations at this time are voluntary.
Level 2: Be Set. This level indicates there is significant danger to your area, and residents should either voluntarily relocate to a shelter outside of the affected area, or if choosing to remain, to be ready at a moment’s notice. Emergency services cannot guarantee that they will be able to notify you if conditions rapidly deteriorate.
Level 3: Go Now. Danger to your area is current or imminent, and you should leave immediately. Listen to local media, watch for emergency personnel who may be coming by to give further instructions regarding the evacuation.
