KLICKITAT COUNTY EVACUATION INFORMATION The best way to prepare for disaster is: Prepare your home, make a kit, have a plan, know your escape route and be informed!

Residents with special needs or those with pets or livestock should take note and make preparations. During this level, Klickitat County Emergency Management may send an Emergency Notification System (ENS) to all landline telephones and residents who have registered with the ENS in the affected area. Level 2 (GET SET) indicates there is a significant risk to your area and residents should voluntarily relocate either to a shelter, with family/friends outside of the area or be ready to leave at a moment’s notice. During this level, Klickitat County Emergency Management may send an Emergency Notification System (ENS) to all landline telephones and residents who have registered with the ENS in the affected area. Emergency personnel may contact residents through door-to-door notifications. Level 3 (GO) means danger is currently affecting your area or is imminent and you should leave immediately. During this level, Klickitat County Emergency Management may send an Emergency Notification System (ENS) to all landline telephones and residents who have registered with the ENS in the affected area.
