  Evacuate
  • An evacuation will be ordered if the community is threatened and there is time to safely evacuate in an orderly manner.
  • Local officials will specify which areas of the community must evacuate and when they should actually leave.
  • If the evacuation order applies to you, leave your area when instructed. Local officials will inform and direct you as to which route to follow to the designated safe shelter location identified for your use. Use one car per family. Close all car windows and vents. Listen to your radio for traffic information.
  • When evacuating, take only necessities. Pets will not be allowed in shelters; provide adequate food and water for them.
  • You may return to your home as soon as the emergency is declared over and it is safe to return.
  • If the emergency involved an airborne hazardous material, open windows and doors when you return and stay outside until the building is well ventilated.
