Evacuation orders and warnings have been issued for residents of Apple Fire and El Dorado Fire burn scar zones, due to an incoming storm. Go to https://rivcoready.org/ActiveEvents for details and to view the evacuation zones. If you need assistance evacuating, call 2-1-1.

Community members should take the risk of flooding, mudslides and debris flow seriously. Evacuation terms include:

• Evacuation Warning: Potential threat to life and/or property. Those who require additional time to evacuate, and those with pets and livestock should leave now.

• Evacuation Order: Immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to leave now. The area is lawfully closed to public access.

The Apple and El Dorado fires burned more than 50,000 acres this fire season, leaving burn scars that prevent soil from absorbing rain. This could cause water, mud, downed trees and other debris to flow downhill and into the community. Go to https://rivcoready.org/Have-a-Plan/Storm-Ready/Apple-El-Dorado-Fire-Info to get details on how to prepare your property, including where to find sandbags.

Flooding, mudslides and debris flow can sometimes cause interruption of water service. BCVWD will activate our outage alert system if your service is impacted. You can sign up to receive water outage email notifications at https://bcvwd.org/email-notifications/ .

Some areas in the Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District service area could experience

Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events over the next few days, including many of the BCVWD facilities.

Your water service could be impacted if power shutoffs affect our ability to pump water and operate the delivery system. When there is a high risk of wildfire due to weather conditions, including wind, Southern California Edison (SCE) may shut off power to prevent ignition from the electric system.

We are urging all BCVWD customers, even those not affected, to conserve water in the event of a power shutoff. Conserving water is essential to easing the load on backup generators and ensuring we have an adequate supply for firefighting, drinking water and other vital needs.

In the event of a water service impact, BCVWD will share information via our alert system. This includes updates to the District’s website, automatic email notifications and a message on the phone system notifying those who call the District’s phone number at (951) 845-9581. Customers can sign up to receive email notifications here: bcvwd.org/email-notifications.

To view the areas under consideration for power shutoffs, visit www.sce.com/wildfire/psps. More information about preparing for PSPS events is available on the City of Beaumont website.
