1/_ 🧵 Many counties (including mine - King County WA) use the CodeRed system for alerting people about a wildfire evacuation. Recently I traded email with county staff and got some details about how this works.

If your county’s emergency management web page shows they use CodeRed then there should be a signup link. When you signup, enter your address or use the map by dragging the marker, zooming in and repeating until the marker is where you live.

If my area is ordered to evacuate then I want to get that message by every means possible. We have a landline so I entered our “Home phone” number, my cell number and my main email address that I check the most often.

Usually soggy King County WA (county seat - Seattle) is hiring for a Community Wildfire Protection Planner. Good! Nice to see local officials taking wildfire risk seriously.

Here is the latest look at the #ParkerLakeFire near Fort Nelson British Columbia. That town has been ordered to evacuate. The red outline is the perimeter as of early today but there is now a lot of additional satellite heat detections outside of that perimeter.
