Emergency Planning
Evacuations
Emergencies often happen with no warning. It is important that you are prepared to respond quickly and responsibly. Please take time to review the City of Helena's Evacuation Map (below) to help you prepare for an emergency. It is important that you have an evacuation plan, practice that plan, and review it each year.
