Evacuation Drill, May 16, 2009

On May 16, 2009 the Sierra Fire Protection District (SFPD) and associated civil emergency authorities will be conducting an emergency evacuation drill in cooperation with Montreux, St. James, Galena, and Callahan Ranch communities. The drill will commence at at 9:00 AM and proceed through an established notification and escalation procedure for residents of St. James, Callahan Ranch, and Galena. Montreux homeowner participation in this drill is voluntary. The drill will employ a "reverse 911" calling process initiated by SFPD. Some residents of Montreux may receive an unintentional call that will identify itself as a drill and practice evacuation. Again, Montreux homeowner participation in this drill is voluntary. Selected St. James, Galena, and Callahan Ranch residents will be directed to evacuate through Montreux and exit through an established emergency gate and the main entry and subsequently, onto Mt. Rose Highway. A staging area has been set up for evacuees that will include information and displays at Galena High School. Montreux Security and SFPD personnel will actively monitor all Montreux gates and routes within our community during this drill. Temporary evacuation route signs will be posted during the morning of this drill. Additional information is available at www.sierra-rapidfire.org
