Sign Up for Emergency Alerts
Be in the know and sign up for the Eagle County Alert system to receive the latest information about wildfire incidents and evacuation notices. Subscribers can elect to receive
time-sensitive emergency messages to their phone, desktop and/or mobile device. Sign up here for EC Alert.
Make a plan for evacuation
Make a plan and complete your Emergency Checklist by determining your evacuation route and creating an emergency supply kit. If you are told to evacuate, you must do so immediately. If you wait until the last minute, the roads may have heavy traffic and blowing embers and debris from the fire may make it difficult to see. Learn more about how to create an evacuation plan here.
