KELSEYVILLE, Calif. -- The Lake County Sheriff's Office is issuing an Advisory Evacuation Notice for the Kelseyville community.

This includes all residences north of the Lake/Mendocino/Sonoma County lines to the shoreline of Clear Lake.

All residences west of Bottle Rock Road and Clear Lake State Park. This is an advisory evacuation message resulting from the River Fire. A shelter has been established at Mountain Vista Middle School in Kelseyville and Twin Pine Casino.

At this time, an evacuation is recommended, however not required. The Lake County Sheriff's Office encourage those who are able to evacuate to consider doing so now.

If you have somewhere you can go outside of the affected area, such as a friend or relatives home, we recommend doing so. We are inviting everyone to take preparations in the likely event a mandatory evacuation order is issued.

Preparations should include gathering all medications, important documents, making plans for pets, and notifying family members where you may be going.

During a mandatory evacuation, it will be extremely hectic and traffic conditions will be very congested. By evacuating early, you do your part in keeping yourself, your neighbors, and our first responders safe.

As a reminder, this is not a mandatory evacuation at this time. In the event of a mandatory evacuation, further information will be provided.
