Disaster Response Routes identification program discontinued
Posted in news; tagged with news
The Disaster Response Route identification system is being discontinued. DRR stickers and decals are now historical items only.
First responders and emergency personnel were previously given stickers identifying them as authorized to use these essential routes. This identification system has been discontinued and Disaster Response Route permits will no longer be accepted on activated disaster response routes.
If you currently have a decal, be aware that they are no longer valid and there are no plans to create more.
Instead, should emergency transportation be activated for emergency responders, other communication methods will be used to clarify and specify who the priority transportation is for. This modernized system will give our highly valued first responders and emergency personnel greater situational awareness to perform their duties safer and more efficiently.
