The following press released was issued by the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office:
Zone B and Zone B.1 have been reduced from an Evacuation Order to an Evacuation Warning. Zone B is described as the area “south of Green Lambert Canyon, east of the Middlefork of the Eel River, north and west of Hayshed Creek.” Zone B.1 is the area “south and east of Hayshed Creek, north of Thatcher Creek and Jack Hollow Creek, west of Chimney Rock.”
Please note:
An Evacuation Order means residents of an affected area should leave now and the area is closed to the public.
An Evacuation Warning means the residents of the area should prepare to leave if ordered to do so.
I like to think of myself as a reporter for the Average Joe. Journalism has become a craft defined largely by city dwellers on America's coasts. It’s time to take it back. I have been an Emerald Triangle resident since 2006 and this is year ten in Mendocino County. Please, email me at matthewplafever@gmail.com if you know a story that needs to be told.
