Public zone lookup
Genasys Protect (formerly Zonehaven)
Enter your address to see your zone ID and live status — normal, evacuation warning, or evacuation order. Used by many Colorado counties, including Lake and Montrose. protect.genasys.com
There's no single statewide evacuation zone system. Each county or local agency draws and activates its own zones. Genasys Protect covers many — but not all — Colorado counties. If your address doesn't show a zone there, check your county's own emergency management page (see the Official Resources tab) or call your county's non-emergency line.
What the statuses meanZone status levels
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Normal | No current threat identified for this zone. |
| Evacuation Warning / Pre-Evacuation ("Ready" or "Be Ready") | A hazard is developing nearby. Prepare to leave: gather essentials, medications, important documents, and plan your route. Move large animals now — don't wait for an order. |
| Evacuation Order ("Go" or "Leave Now") | Immediate threat to life. Leave the area right away by the safest available route. |
| Shelter in Place | Leaving is more dangerous than staying. Stay indoors and follow official instructions. |
Exact wording varies by county and agency — always follow the specific instructions issued for your zone, not just the general category.
Local systemsCounty-specific evacuation maps
A few examples of counties that run their own separate mapping tools rather than (or in addition to) Genasys Protect:
Boulder County
Publishes its own pre-defined alert zone boundaries as open GIS data, used for reverse-911 notifications. View dataset
Ouray County
Maintains its own evacuation and road closure map during active incidents. Check the county's emergency page during a fire.
El Paso & Pueblo Counties
Sheriff's offices post active zone maps and lists directly during incidents (e.g. Aspen Acres Fire updates). Check the county sheriff's site or Facebook page during an active event.
This list isn't exhaustive. Your county's emergency management office (linked from the Official Resources tab) is always the authoritative source for which system it uses.
