through the CA Communicator, Channel 79, Citizens on Patrol
(COPs), the SunCityAmateur Radio Society (SCARS), or through
your Neighborhood Representative or Emergency Management
Coordinator. Members of the COPs Emergency Response Team
will also be stationed at various locations to direct you to the
appropriate Evacuation Center.
