The best thing this community and the citizens can do to maintain their safety is to evacuate as the city has recommended. Again, that's an evacuation request by 3— no later than 3 PM today. And as you are leaving, please also look to secure any household hazardous waste or fuel tanks if you have them on your property. Ensure that those are strapped down. Your support greatly reduces the overall risk of this event.
