Full Notification

The Albany Hill Evacuation Drill is now complete. Thank you for your participation and cooperation during this important preparedness exercise. The City of Albany encourages all residents to prepare and practice for wildfires and other disasters with the following tips.

PREPARE

Sign up for emergency information and evacuation notices via AC Alert, pack a "go bag" for each member of your household with the things you would need to safely evacuate, and learn more on our disaster preparedness website.

PRACTICE

Make a plan to evacuate by foot and by car and practice using them. Plan for you and your neighbors to help each other. Make sure everyone knows to evacuate, and has a backup plan if they can't drive out.

BE AWARE

Wildfire threats are highest on dry, windy days.  When the National Weather Service releases "Red Flag Day" notices, you will receive a notification from the AC Alert system. On those days, be careful, avoid anything that could cause a spark, and make sure your household is ready to rapidly evacuate.
