EVACUATION
In some emergencies, it may be necessary to evacuate your home or neighborhood. City officials will tell you when to evacuate through the media and direct warnings. Evacuation is used as a last resort when a serious threat to public safety exists.
EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU:
- Are directed to do so by an emergency official.
- Are in immediate danger.
- Smell gas or smoke.
- See fire.
BE PREPARED TO EVACUATE;
- Secure your home: close and lock windows and doors, and unplug appliances before you leave. Authorities will instruct you if it is necessary to turn off utilities.
- Wear sturdy shoes and comfortable, protective clothing such as long pants and long-sleeved shirts.
- Bring your Go Bag with you when evacuate. Know your workplace evacuation plan.
- Know your child's school evacuation plan.
- Remember, evacuation routes change based on the emergency so stay tuned to the local news.
