Evacuation Routes
There are round blue Emergency Evacuation Route signs posted throughout Warren. These signs lead people away from low lying and potentially dangerous areas (shaded in green and yellow) to higher safer ground. These signs DO NOT necessarily lead to shelters or a particular place. If you reside in these shaded areas, you should be aware of the evacuation routes in your community and have an idea of where you would evacuate to.
These maps can also be viewed at Town Hall, Town Clerk's Office, 514 Main Street, first floor.
