Ready, Set, Go!
New Evacuation Levels Announced
Ready
Ready Phase: Be aware of the danger in your area and start preparing for possible evacuation. Monitor local media and check on neighbors. If you do not already have an evacuation plan or a Go kit, assemble these now. Conditions can change suddenly, and you may not receive a Level 2 “Be Set” warning before you are ordered to Level 3 “Go!” Prepare both the inside and outside of your home for fire. Leave if you feel unsafe — do not wait for an official evacuation order.
Set
Set Phase: Short notice evacuation likely in your area (Level 2) – Be prepared for sudden evacuation. People who need help or more time to evacuate – people with disabilities, access and functional needs, Elders, people with small children, people with medical conditions and people with large animals – should evacuate now. Ensure your evacuation plan checklist is complete and your Go kit is in your vehicle. Stay informed and be aware of alerts from local law enforcement and/or fire departments. Always remember to leave if you feel unsafe, do not wait for an official evacuation order.
Go!
Go! Phase: Evacuate immediately from your area (Level 3) – Go now! Danger in your area is current or imminent.
