Fire Evacuation Map
See active wildfires, painted evacuation zones, and fire-weather alerts live — straight from official feeds — and jump to the official tools that issue evacuation zones and orders. Free, no signup.
Fire locations come from NIFC, last pulled Aug 8, 6:09 AM PDT — they update about once a day and are not real-time. In an emergency, always follow the official orders from your local authorities. Evacuation zones come from official statewide feeds + Genasys Protect — not every county publishes to them. An unshaded area is never confirmation of no evacuation: verify any address with Genasys Protect, Watch Duty, or your county. Basemap © Mapbox © OpenStreetMap.

Evacuation orders, warnings & zones — what they mean
Terminology varies by area; always follow your local authority's exact wording.
Leave now. There is an immediate threat to life. Roads and services may close; you may not be able to return for some time.
Be ready to leave at a moment’s notice. A potential threat exists. Those needing extra time (animals, mobility, medical) should leave now.
Stay where you are and remain indoors. Used when evacuating would be more dangerous than staying.
No active order. Know your zone now so you can act instantly if that changes.

Fire evacuation map FAQ
How do I find my fire evacuation zone?
Search your address in your area’s official evacuation-zone tool. Across California and much of the West, that’s Genasys Protect (protect.genasys.com), which shows your zone ID and its current status — Normal, Warning, or Order. Watch Duty also shows zones during active incidents. The live map and orders list on this page show active zones from the official feeds we monitor, with verbatim statuses and source links — confirm your zone status in the official tool.
What’s the difference between an evacuation order and a warning?
An Evacuation Order means leave now — there’s an immediate threat to life. An Evacuation Warning means be ready to leave at a moment’s notice; if you need extra time (livestock, mobility needs, medical equipment), you should leave during the warning. Some areas use the Ready-Set-Go framework, where Set is the warning and Go is the order.
Is this evacuation map official?
No — FireRisk.ai is for awareness and early planning, not official orders. We show live wildfires from NIFC and active alerts from the National Weather Service, and we link you to the official tools (Genasys Protect, Watch Duty, CAL FIRE, your county) that issue actual evacuation zones and orders. Always follow your local authority and call 911 in an emergency.
How do I know if I need to evacuate?
Check the live map above for active fires and painted evacuation zones near you, then confirm your official evacuation zone status. If your zone is under an Order, leave immediately. If it’s under a Warning, be ready and leave early if you need extra time. When in doubt, leave — wildfires move faster than people expect, and roads clog quickly.
Where can I see evacuation maps for a specific fire?
During a named incident, the fastest official sources are Watch Duty, the county or CAL FIRE incident page, and Genasys Protect for zone status. You can also open that fire’s page on FireRisk.ai for its live size, containment, and map.
FireRisk.ai is for awareness, not emergency guidance, and does not issue evacuation orders. Live data: NIFC (fires) and the National Weather Service (alerts). For official evacuation orders and zones, use Genasys Protect, Watch Duty, CAL FIRE, and your county — and call 911 in an emergency.
