A fast-moving wildfire is threatening homes in Pacific Palisades. This article provides real-time updates, evacuation information, and essential resources to help you stay safe. If you are in an evacuation zone, leave immediately.
Evacuation Zones: Are You Affected?
Confirm your location immediately. Authorities may issue mandatory evacuation orders, warnings, or all-clear notices. Stay updated, as conditions can change rapidly. Official sources are your most reliable information source.
Current Evacuation Status & Zones
Refer to the official map below or the table for specific zones. Different colors represent varying levels of risk. Remember, red typically signifies mandatory evacuation. If you’re in a red zone, evacuate now. Yellow often signals a warning—be prepared to leave quickly. If you’re outside a colored zone, you’re probably safe for now, but remain vigilant.
