Beginning Sunday (September 12th), the El Dorado Sherriff’s Office (EDSO) will begin allowing Grizzly Flats residents to return in a staggered manner. By Monday (September 13th), EDSO expects the repopulation effort to be completed for Grizzly Flats. The following is an overview of the process:
- Residents will be notified via El Dorado Sheriff’s Office and El Dorado County social media and Code Red approximately 24 hours prior to a designated date and time based on their address that they will be allowed re-entry.
- There will be a check-in and resident verification process at Pioneer Park where they will be given information on resources, hazards, etc. This is to prevent those who do not reside there from gaining access to the area.
- Contact information will be taken so that we can make contact with them directly throughout the recovery efforts. The form you will need to fill out can be found here: https://arcg.is/0LHeCX Please fill it out prior to your arrival.
- Different segments of the Grizzly Flats area will be repopulated at different times throughout Sunday and Monday to prevent extreme traffic jams, safety issues and hazards.
- Evacuees will need to bring a Government ID and some form of verification of address. We will make every effort to verify residence, but be prepared to be turned back if we are unable to do so.
- Evacuees will be given a permit to access their property and then cleared to enter the evacuated area. Again, the permit is intended to prevent the entry of those who do not live in the area and maintain the safety of those who do. Roadblocks will remain in place to check the permits during this process and for some period after.
