Free Evacuation Tags for your home and property!
The Yuba County Sheriff’s Department, Yuba OES and Yuba Fire Safe Council have partnered to provide “EVACUATED” tags. Families should place these tags in a highly visible place such as a door, reflective address sign, mailbox, fence or gate as they leave during an incident.
These tags when placed properly can help first responders quickly identify which homes have already been evaluated!
The purpose of the tags is to aid first-responders to quickly determine if a house has been evacuated. Ideally, these tags will allow the first responders to make this determination from the road. By saving time at each house with a displayed tag, the evacuation can be carried out in a quicker and safer manner.
Remember…Seconds Saved Can Save Lives!
Get your free tags today found at a number of locations
throughout Yuba County.
Note: Evacuation areas will be closely monitored by first-responders, when an initial evacuation is completed and the area is accessible to deputies, the tag’s location will be documented and removed.

Key Points on Evacuation Tags
- Store the Tags: Keep the tags by your door, with your Go-Bag , or in your car. Make sure the whole family knows what they are and where they are kept.
- Place the Tags: When evacuating, hang the tag in an easily visible location in the front of your property such as your gate, your fence, your mailbox, or on your address sign.
- If you can’t locate your tag, DO NOT delay your evacuation to look for the tag.
- If you have evacuated and remember that you didn’t hang your tag, DO NOT return to do so.
The evacuated areas will be closely monitored by first responders and when the initial evacuation is completed and the area is accessible by deputies, the tags will be documented and removed.
