An evacuation alert has been issued to prepare you to evacuate your premises or property should it be required.
Residents will be given as much advance notice as possible prior to evacuation; however you may receive limited notice due to changing conditions.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO WHEN AN ALERT IS IN EFFECT
Upon notification of an ALERT, you should be prepared for an evacuation order by:
Having a plan to transport all family members or co-workers outside of the area, should the area be brought back under evacuation order.
Keeping essential items readily available for a quick departure; including medications, eyeglasses, valuable papers (i.e. insurance), immediate care needs for dependants and, if you choose, keepsakes (photographs, etc.).
Ensuring that any dependants are prepared for departure.
Ensuring that pets and livestock remain in a safe area.
Ensuring that you have accommodation options for your family, if possible. Reception Centre will be made available again if required.
Monitoring reliable news sources for evacuation order information.
