Prepare now for possible evacuation.

Evacuations may be required if there is an imminent threat to life. This could be due to a fire, flood, a biohazard leak or spill, or any other circumstance that could cause threat to life if action is not taken.

It is important to prepare now so that you and your family can stay safe.

Here are ways to prepare:

• Keep an emergency supply kit that includes medicine, clothing, chargers, and any other critical personal items you may need if you are away from home for an extended period.
• Make sure you have critical life safety items for each person in your household, pets included!

It is important to follow evacuation instructions from local authorities during emergency situations and if an evacuation order is issued, to gather critical items and leave immediately.

In emergency events the evacuation order issued may be voluntary or mandatory. To learn about the different types of evacuations, watch the “Mandatory vs. Voluntary Evacuations” video.
