Topanga’s New Evacuation Guide
The TEM Task Force is proud to introduce a new guide in Topanga’s arsenal to aid in disaster survival. The Topanga Evacuation Guide is specifically written for our mountain community and is now available. Each Topanga resident and business has been mailed a copy. You can also download a copy below.
This guide is your Go-To-Book to aid in an evacuation. Keep it in your To-Go-Bag or in your car’s glove box.
The Topanga Evacuation Guide is designed to help residents safely leave the canyon when ordered by law enforcement — or when life-threatening danger arises. This essential guide provides the critical information you’ll need during an evacuation and serves as a companion to the more comprehensive Topanga Disaster Survival Guide, which explains how to Prepare for, Respond to, and Recover from a disaster.
In the Evacuation Guide, you will find:
- Where to get Real-Time Emergency Info
- What to do in a PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff)
- How to prepare during Red Flag conditions
- Steps to evacuate, including checklists to make it easier
- Different ways to Shelter in Place as last resort
- Repopulation information, including how to obtain a Topanga Access Card
- Evacuation Zone Maps and FRS channels by neighborhoods
Together, these Topanga one-of-a-kind guides are tools to help every resident stay informed, learn how to prepare and make smart evacuation decisions, and how to protect families and pets when disaster strikes.
