Emergency Planning
Advice for Residents - Evacuation | |
 | |
Evacuation is generally only considered as a last resort, but is more common than many people think. Evacuation may last a relative short period of time or be of a longer duration; during this time you will have no access to your home or workplace.
If told to evacuate,
Follow instructions from the emergency services.
- Do not enter restricted areas or closed roads.
- Check neighbours to ensure they know what is happening, or to see if they need help.
- Gather family members and prepare to leave your home.
- Get pets ready for evacuation.
- Take any prescribed medicines with you.
- Know how to turn off electricity, gas and water supplies.
- Close and lock doors and windows.
- Don’t return home unless told you can.
