MEDFORD, Ore. – The City of Medford published a new interactive evacuation zone map.
The city was divided into 14 predetermined zones intended to allow officials to plan and execute evacuations more smoothly in the event of an emergency.
“The biggest thing that we want to encourage our residents to do is to take time to prepare, to plan, and practice that plan, prepare and create defensible space around the home and their business, to create a communication plan or a go kit and then to practice it,” said Aaron Ott, City Emergency Management Coordinator.

The city recommends recording your zone number and printing it, before the next emergency.
