| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | APRIL 2021 | 5
EPAP reminds all residents to be prepared in case a
wildfire comes close enough to threaten our homes in
Sun Lakes. The EPAP Management Team met with the
Riverside Emergency Management Department (EMD)
recently to understand the standardized evacuation
terminology that Riverside County public safety agencies are
using.
There are three levels of warning vocabulary that will be used to
alert residents. They are as follows:
An EVACUATION WARNING means that there is a potential
threat to life and/or property. Those who require additional time
to evacuate, and those with pets, should leave the area now. That
includes the disabled, the physically compromised, and those with
oxygen and other devices.
An EVACUATION ORDER means that there is an immediate threat
to life, and those alerted should leave now. The area will be lawfully
closed to public access.
An order to SHELTER IN PLACE means that everyone
should go indoors immediately, shut and lock doors and
windows, and prepare to self-sustain until further notice.
The best way to get up-to-the-minute information is
to follow any of these entities on Twitter: @CalFireRivCo, @
calfirerru, EMD@rivcoready, or @caltrans8.
Residents can also call the Riverside County Fire Call Center at
(951) 940-6985, or email Justin.gardiner@rivco.org.
EPAP recommends that you register your telephone numbers with
the Riverside County Alert System. Go to rivcoready.org to register
your landlines and cell phones for alerts from the county of Riverside.
To register with the city of Banning to receive alerts, go to nixle.com.
EPAP in Sun Lakes is ready to help. Our teams are updated as new
and unforeseen situations arise. If you have any questions, contact
the EPAP coordinator in your district.
