EVACUATION

 What to do if an evacuation is necessary

  • Evacuate immediately, if told to do so.  Use travel routes specified by local officials.

  •  Wear sensible clothing and sturdy shoe, appropriate for weather.

  •  Take along your Emergency Preparedness Kit.

  •  Turn off all appliances.  Lock your doors and windows.

  •  Take a form of identification and any medicine taken regularly by family members.

  •  Do not return to the emergency site until local officials have given an "ALL CLEAR".

  •  After the emergency is over, enter your home with caution.  Open doors and windows to ventilate.  DO NOT strike a match or turn on electric lights until you are sure there are no breaks in gas lines.
