Welcome Back: Returning After a Wildfire
Information for Returning Residents
If your evacuation order has changed to an alert and you choose to return to your community, please follow the recommended re-entry route to the Boston Bar area. Access from the south is not possible, as Highway 1 near Hope remains closed. Returning home after an extended evacuation can be stressful and there are several important safety considerations to keep in mind. You will find a printable re-entry guide below to assist with a safe return.
