Yesterday evening, significant numbers of neighbors from the 5 Mile Prairie area began to contact SPD attempting to access their homes. They were all advising an APP was showing that area had been downgraded to a Level 2 evacuation. The APP is a well-known and popular site, and we have no reason to believe the mis information was put out with ill intent.
Five Mile Prairie is still a Level 3 Zone.
We ask that community members confirm on designated sights, like the one listed above the evacuation status of their home before attempting to return.
