This feature service is an aggregation of multiple California County Evacuation Zone services, and Genasys. The schema used mirrors the Zonehaven Schema. This service is fully updated every 10 minutes. During the update, there may be a brief period (~1 min) where the service is rebuilding and not all features are visible.Updated Frequency: 10 minutesContact: gissupport@caloes.ca.govSymbologyStatusColor Hex ValueColor NameColorDescriptionNORMAL#FFFFFFWhiteNo active public safety incidents.EVACUATION WARNING#E5C447YellowPotential threat to life and/or property.

These maps show predictions for the estimated maximum extent of inundation for a LOCAL Cascadia tsunami (YELLOW) for all of Oregon and Washington overlaid on Google Maps. For portions of the Oregon coast only (e.g. currently Bandon to OR/CA border and Cannon Beach), these maps show TWO inundation lines: the estimated maximum extent of inundation for a LOCAL Cascadia tsunami (YELLOW) and a DISTANT tsunami (ORANGE). The entire Pacific coast including Puget Sound, are vulnerable to DISTANT tsunamis even if not depicted on this map. Sections of the coast marked by diagonal lines are currently unmapped, but are also vulnerable to tsunamis - Be vigilant and know what to do when at the coast.

Source Item: https://calema.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=15fb71971c7246338440d39b9f158bd7The data for this feature service is derived from the CalOES feed indicated at the source item above, which compiles evacuation zone data from multiple local services into a single feed. Since the CalOES feed is a live service showing currently active evacuation orders and warnings, this historic feature service was developed by merging the backups of the live service run daily at 3AM Pacific Time. This database maintains all field headings, field values, and feature polygons of the original CalOES service while adding an EFFECTIVE_DATE_R9 date field to indicate the day and hour that the backup script was run. In order to isolate a specific period of active evacuations, apply a filter to the EFFECTIVE_DATE_R9 field.This service is currently in development. At this time it consists of evacuation data starting January 7th 2025 and is updated daily with the most recent daily backup.

The travel time map was generated using the Pedestrian Evacuation Analyst model from the USGS. The travel time analysis uses ESRI's Path Distance tool to find the shortest distance across a cost surface from any point in the hazard zone to a safe zone. This cost analysis considers the direction of movement and assigns a higher cost to steeper slopes, based on a table contained within the model. The analysis also adds in the energy costs of crossing different types of land cover, assuming that less energy is expended walking along a road than walking across a sandy beach. To produce the time map, the evacuation surface output from the model is grouped into 1-minute increments for easier visualization. The times in the attribute table represent the estimated time to travel on foot to the nearest safe zone at the speed designated in the map title. The bridge or nobridge name in the map title identifies whether bridges were represented in the modeling or whether they were removed prior to modeling to estimate the impact on travel times from earthquake-damaged bridges.

Due to the mixed distribution of buildings and vegetation, wildland-urban interface (WUI) areas are characterized by complex fuel distributions and geographical environments. The behavior of wildfires occurring in the WUI often leads to severe hazards and significant damage to man-made structures. Therefore, WUI areas warrant more attention during the wildfire season. Due to the ever-changing dynamic nature of California's population and housing, the update frequency and resolution of WUI maps that are currently used can no longer meet the needs and challenges of wildfire management and resource allocation for suppression and mitigation efforts. Recent developments in remote sensing technology and data analysis algorithms pose new opportunities for improving WUI mapping methods. WUI areas in California were directly mapped using building footprints extracted from remote sensing data by Microsoft along with the fuel vegetation cover from the LANDFIRE dataset in this study. To accommodate the new type of datasets, we developed a threshold criteria for mapping WUI based on statistical analysis, as opposed to using more ad-hoc criteria as used in previous mapping approaches. This method removes the reliance on census data in WUI mapping, and does not require the calculation of housing density. Moreover, this approach designates the adjacent areas of each building with large and dense parcels of vegetation as WUI, which can not only refine the scope and resolution of the WUI areas to individual buildings, but also avoids zoning issues and uncertainties in housing density calculation. Besides, the new method has the capability of updating the WUI map in real-time according to the operational needs. Therefore, this method is suitable for local governments to map local WUI areas, as well as formulating detailed wildfire emergency plans, evacuation routes, and management measures.

Every year in Canada, thousands of people are evacuated from their homes and workplaces due to the threat of wildfire, and thousands more are put on evacuation alert. The wildland-urban interface refers to residential, industrial or agricultural developments that are located within or near forested or grassland areas. Each year, more and more Canadians live, work and play in these forested areas and therefore live with the threat of wildfire. Evacuations are ordered for a number of reasons: danger to life and property, health risks and poor visibility due to smoke, and road closures preventing access to a community. The resulting disruptions to lives, businesses and transportation can have serious economic and social consequences; however, evacuations are essential to save lives and allow management personnel to do their jobs. No civilian lives have been lost due to wildfire in Canada since 1938. This map shows the number of persons evacuated due to wildfires during the period 1980 to 2003.

During a declared emergency event, this file represents an aggregated dataset that shows all of the active Orders and Alerts in the Province as initiated by the Local Governments or First Nations. When an Order or Alert is rescinded, its status changes to All Clear. The polygon is removed from this layer and copied to the Historical Orders and Alerts dataset.

Produced collectively by geologic hazard mapping scientists, and emergency planning specialists from the California Geological Survey, the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, and local agencies, organizations, and other stakeholders. The tsunami hazard evacuation areas were developed for all populated areas at risk to tsunamis in California and are based on the tsunami hazard defined in the Tsunami Inundation Maps for Emergency Planning. While the State assisted in the development of the evacuation areas, local agencies, organizations, and other stakeholders made the final determination on the location and coverage of these evacuation areas as they will be used for evacuation planning at the community level.
