EVACUATION

 

Immediate risk:

If you smell gas or smoke or see fire, evacuate immediately.

From a safe location, call 9-1-1 and report the incident.

 

General evacuation orders:

If local officials issue evacuation orders, use the evacuation routes and methods specified. Carpool whenever possible.

If time allows:

    Wear sturdy enough shoes for walking, long sleeves and long pants.

    Bring car keys, credit cards, road maps, cell phone,               charger and important phone numbers.

    Bring your “Go-bags”. (See Go-bag Section.)

    If you have a pet, make sure it is wearing a collar, bring it in        a pet carrier labeled with your name and address and the pet’s name. Bring a small amount of food, medications and water for your pet. (See Tips for Pet owners.)

    Lock your home and shut off the water and electricity, but leave gas on unless instructed otherwise.

    Tell your neighbors where you are going.
