Evacuation
In some emergencies, it may be necessary to evacuate your home or neighborhood. Evacuation is used as a last resort when a serious threat to public safety exists. If local authorities ask you to leave your home, you should heed the advice immediately. Listen to your radio or television and follow the instructions of local emergency officials. If you are told to evacuate, listen to make sure the evacuation order applies to you and to understand if you need to evacuate immediately or if you have time to pack some essentials. Every situation can be different, so you may be given special instructions to follow for a particular situation.
