In an abundance of caution, we are advising our Morgan Hill community to take this opportunity to prepare for the possibility of an evacuation. Communities to the north of Morgan Hill are currently under evacuation warnings and orders in relation to the SCU Lightning Complex Fires (indicated on the map as 4-2 Fire and Canyon Zone Fire) that are now moving southward (https://ucanr.edu/sites/fire/Safety/Current/). We are in the midst of an unprecedented fire event in the surrounding area and now is the time for heightened preparedness.
Additional information on preparing your home, family and pets for wildfire evacuation can be found at https://www.readyforwildfire.org/
In the event of an evacuation warning or order, residents directly affected will receive an AlertSCC notification by phone, text or email, followed by notification from the City of Morgan Hill through eblast, Nextdoor and our social media platforms. Information will also be made available on the City website.
