Full Notification

The mandatory evacuation order for all residents east of Santa Anita and north of Elkins in Sierra Madre remains in effect until further notice. City officials are working on a strategy to allow residents in the mandatory evacuation area to return safely, but do not have an estimated time as to when the mandatory evacuation order will be lifted. 
 
Repopulation of the evacuated area will be based on the current and projected status of the Bobcat Fire, including a review of the effectiveness of the perimeter lines which have been put in place to hold the fire.  This decision will be made in conjunction with Incident Operations for the Bobcat Fire.
 
All other areas of Sierra Madre remain under an evacuation warning. Residents need to be ready to evacuate should an evacuation order be issued.
 
Definitions of evacuations are described as followed:
Evacuation Warning - Residents should have evacuation plans in place, their emergency evacuation supplies organized, and their essential personal belongings accessible, in the event that an Evacuation Order is enforced.
Evacuation Order - Residents must evacuate immediately due to dangerous wildfire conditions. ­
The Red Cross has established an evacuation center at Santa Anita Race Track (285 W. Huntington Drive) in Arcadia.  Residents accessing the evacuation center are asked to enter through Gate 5.
