RAMONA COMMUNITY PROTECTION & EVACUATION PLAN
SECTION E – COMMUNITY PROTECTION & EVACUATION PLANS
DANGER FROM THE NORTH: If the danger is to the north of Ramona and moving
towards the area, again, the evacuation should be either of the routes described above:
Hwy 67 west or Wildcat Canyon Rd. south toward Lakeside. Hwy 78 east toward Julian
might be an option if the fire is not near that part of town. Always use good judgment.
• In the event of a major evacuation to the southwest, all traffic control devices
along Main Street will be set on flash. The intersections of Main Street at 7 th
Street, 10 th Street and 14 th Street will be staffed with a traffic control officer.
• The intersection of San Vicente Road and Warnock Road will be staffed with a
traffic control officer and the traffic signals set to flash. This will allow continual
movement of the evacuees towards Hwy 67.
• The intersection of Hwy 67 and Dye Road / Highland Valley Road will be staffed
with a traffic control officer and the traffic signals set to flash. This will allow
continual movement of the evacuees towards Poway and Lakeside.
• The intersection of Hwy. 67 and Mussey Grade Road will be staffed with a traffic
control officer. This will allow the continual movement of evacuees towards
Hwy. 67.
NOTE: The intersections of Hwy 67 @ Poway Road and Hwy 67 @ Scripps Poway
Parkway MUST be staffed by a traffic control officer, during a major evacuation, to
avoid gridlock and extensive traffic delays.
DANGER FROM THE SOUTH: If the danger is coming from the south and moving
toward the area, two routes will move the evacuees to the north. First is Hwy 78 west
towards Escondido, and second is Hwy 78 east, if the danger is not towards Poway or
Lakeside areas. Again, always use good judgment and leave an area as soon as possible
to avoid danger.
• In the event of a major evacuation to the northeast, all traffic control devices
along Main Street will be set on flash. The intersections of Main Street at 7 th
Street, 10 th Street and 14 th Street will be staffed with a traffic control officer.

control officer. This will allow the continual movement of evacuees towards
Hwy. 67.
• The intersection of Main Street and 10 th Street will be staffed with a traffic
control officer and the traffic signals set to flash. This will allow continual
movement of the evacuees eastbound on Hwy 78 towards Santa Ysabel and
