LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office is asking residents north of Lower Lake – not including the city of Clearlake – to be prepared to evacuate should the LNU Lightning Complex advance further into Lake County.
Shortly before 4:30 p.m. Saturday, the sheriff’s office issued an evacuation warning for all residences and areas east of Highway 29, north of Morgan Valley Road, south of Highway 20 and west of the previous warning/evacuation line at Sky High Ridge Road, from Morgan Valley Road extending north to Highway 20, not to include any residents within the city limits of Clearlake.
“We are asking everyone to take preparations in the event that a mandatory evacuation order is issued. Preparations should include gathering all medications, important documents, making plans for pets, and notifying family members where you may be going. Those requiring additional time to evacuate or those with pets or livestock should leave the area as soon as possible,” the sheriff’s office said.
The sheriff’s office urged people to evacuate early in order to avoid hectic traffic conditions and keep themselves, their neighbors and first responders safe.
Should an evacuation order be issued and shelter is needed, evacuees will be directed to a temporary evacuation point.
