In the event of an emergency, the County will stand up a temporary evacuation point (TEP) to direct residents to sheltering resources. If residents decide to evacuate at this time, please consider local resources including staying with friends or relatives. A Temporary Evacuation Point is the first contact point for evacuees during an emergency, to begin the process of finding appropriate short term or long term shelter. A Temporary Evacuation Point is a place to safely park, get emergency information, gather your thoughts, call family and friends, make a plan, identify a place to stay, wait for a public evacuation shelter to open, use a public restroom and get bottled water and a snack.
