Residents may return (and stay) home. Restrictions to RESIDENTS have been lifted.*

Please check in with the law enforcement official at the soft road closure to your neighborhood and be ready to show information that proves your residency in that area. Contractors and third-party vendors are not yet allowed to access these areas.

(*Note: if you live within a residential area with extensive fire damage, Sheriff’s deputies may ask you to leave again by 6 p.m. Also, fewer than a dozen residents may live in homes that are under a hard closure due to firefighting apparatus on the roadway. Please speak with a deputy parked at the closure for more information.)
