With smoke recently inundating our region, and the evacuations for the wildfires in the Spokane area on people\u2019s minds, we are participating in a regional “Ready, Set, Go!” Evacuation Campaign. This initiative aims to simplify evacuation messages to the public. These clear, straightforward messages are intended to save lives as people prepare to evacuate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “Ready, Set, Go!” evacuation campaign provides clear instructions on how to respond to the three levels of evacuations (traditionally Levels 1, 2, and 3). This evacuation program will be used in our area for all hazards: fires, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes and storms. In an emergency, we will use the graphics in this post to clearly communicate how you should respond to the threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Level 1 – Be Ready<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Be aware of the danger in your area and start preparing for possible evacuation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Monitor local media and check on neighbors. If you do not already have an evacuation plan or a Go! kit, assemble these now. Conditions can change suddenly, and you may not receive a Level 2 “Be Set\u201d warning before you are ordered to Level 3 \u201cGo Now!\u201d Prepare both the inside and outside of your home. Leave if you feel unsafe — do not wait for an official evacuation order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Level 2 – Be Set<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Short-notice evacuation is likely in your area.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be prepared for sudden evacuation. People who need help or more time to evacuate \u2014 people with disabilities, people with small children, people with medical conditions and people with large animals \u2014 should evacuate now. Ensure your evacuation plan checklist is complete and that your Go! kit is in your vehicle. Stay informed and be aware of alerts from local law enforcement and fire departments. Always remember to leave if you feel unsafe, do not wait for an official evacuation order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Level 3 – Go Now<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Evacuate immediately from your area.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go now! Danger in your area is current or imminent. Follow directions from law enforcement or fire departments and do not return home until officials have determined it is safe. Notification that it is safe to return home will be given as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
