Los Angeles County is telling some residents it is time to get ready to move. Early Tuesday, officials issued an evacuation order for Zone STV-PICO and evacuation warnings for several surrounding areas as the Max Fire bears down on parts of the county.
The alert, which uses the county's official evacuation zone system, urges people in affected neighborhoods to stay glued to verified updates, pack essentials, and be ready to go if the situation turns quickly. County officials say both maps and alerts will shift in real time as fire crews work the incident.

According to Los Angeles County, an Evacuation Order is in effect for STV-PICO. Evacuation Warnings are in place for SCL-DELPRADO, SCL-MEADOWS, STV-CONSTITUTION, STV-POE and STV-E109.
The county site links each zone to a live status tool so residents can punch in their address and confirm whether they are under an Order, under a Warning, or currently outside the affected areas. Officials are reminding the public that these zones are not guesswork; if your address falls inside, you should be packed and ready.

In a post on X, County of Los Angeles officials urged residents to use the linked evacuation map, verify their zone, and follow instructions from authorities without delay.
For those who may need help figuring out where to go or how to get support, the county directs residents to call the toll-free 2-1-1 LA County line or visit 211 LA County for referrals to shelters and other resources.
