Fire locations come from NIFC, last pulled Sep 23, 5:06 PM PDT — you're seeing the newest official data there is: we pull the federal fire feeds every few minutes, as soon as agencies publish. Just know each flame marks where a fire was reported, not where its edge is right now — real fires spread, markers don't move, and details like acres update a few times a day, not in 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 or your county. Basemap © Mapbox © OpenStreetMap.

Live evacuation orders & warnings

Aggregated from official government feeds, Genasys Protect, and human-verified official notices — every listing links to its source. Orders come only from your local authorities; always confirm there.

⚠️ Coverage note: not every county publishes evacuation zones to the feeds we monitor. A location missing from this list is never confirmation that no evacuation exists there — always confirm with Genasys Protect or your county emergency office, and call 911 in an emergency.

Active evacuation alerts across the U.S.

Verify with county

Evacuation orders for the U.S. are issued by county and local emergency officials. For live evacuation status, check your county's emergency-management page, local law-enforcement channels, or Genasys Protect.

Shown from the incident team (InciWeb) + National Weather Service (~2-min refresh) — these don't include every county/local order. If told to evacuate, leave now and call 911.

Find your official evacuation zone

Evacuation orders are issued by your local authority — these official tools show your exact zone and its current status.

Evacuation orders, warnings & zones — what they mean

Terminology varies by area; always follow your local authority's exact wording.

Evacuation Order

Leave now. There is an immediate threat to life. Roads and services may close; you may not be able to return for some time.

Evacuation Warning

Be ready to leave at a moment’s notice. A potential threat exists. Those needing extra time (animals, mobility, medical) should leave now.

Shelter in Place

Stay where you are and remain indoors. Used when evacuating would be more dangerous than staying.

Normal / Advisory

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. 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, active alerts from the National Weather Service, and evacuation zones from the official feeds we monitor. Evacuation orders are issued only by local authorities — your county sheriff and emergency management. Genasys Protect and your county emergency management page are where you check your zone and its current status. 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, check 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 — with active evacuation zones painted from the official feeds we monitor, swept every 5 minutes.

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, CAL FIRE, and your county — and call 911 in an emergency.
