The County of Monterey has taken proactive measures to ensure the safety of its residents by issuing two evacuation warnings on Saturday. With the expectation of severe weather conditions over the next two days, residents in specific areas should be prepared to leave if conditions worsen.

The evacuation warnings are in effect for the Carmel River area and the Bolsa Knolls area as of 1 p.m. on Saturday. While these warnings are not immediate mandates, officials are urging residents in these areas to have a plan in place and be prepared for potential evacuation orders.

To stay updated on evacuation warnings, residents can visit the County Evacuations webpage for the latest information. It is crucial to stay informed and follow the guidance of officials to ensure everyone's safety.

In addition to monitoring evacuation warnings, residents are encouraged to learn about advisories, watches, and warnings, which can provide valuable information on weather conditions and potential risks. A comprehensive atmospheric river survival guide is also available to assist residents in preparing for this type of weather event.

As impact weather approaches, it is important for residents in the warned areas to stay informed, create an evacuation plan, and gather necessary supplies. By taking proactive steps and staying vigilant, the community can work together to minimize the potential impact of severe weather conditions.

Monterey County officials will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as necessary.
