Wildfire Information
Wildfire Emergency Procedures and School Evacuations
In the event of a wildfire emergency resulting in school evacuation(s), Poway Unified will contact parents and guardians of the affected school(s) by phone and email through the Connect-ED emergency messaging system. Parents will be notified of the site to which students have been evacuated (which will depend upon the location of the fire) and given information about procedures for the release of students to their parents.
Because the Connect-ED system uses telephone and email contact information provided by parents to their child’s school, please take this opportunity to ensure that your child’s emergency contact information is current so that you will receive these important messages. Contact your child’s school to make any updates needed.
