Would you know what to do if a “Level 3” evacuation was called for the area where you live or work? The “Ready, Set, Go!” evacuation campaign is intended to standardize and simplify evacuation messages for the public.

🟩 LEVEL 1 – “Be Ready” Phase: Be aware of your area’s danger and prepare for possible evacuation. 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” warning before you are ordered to Level 3 “Go!.” Prepare both the inside and outside of your home for fire. Leave if you feel unsafe – do not wait for an official evacuation order.

🟨 LEVEL 2 – “Be Set” Phase: A short-notice evacuation is likely in your area. Be prepared for a sudden evacuation. People who need help or more time to evacuate—with disabilities, small children, medical conditions, and large animals—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 local law enforcement and fire department alerts.

🟥 LEVEL 3 – “Go Now” Phase: Evacuate immediately from your area. The 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. There may only be minutes to escape to safety. Have a plan and share it with your family.
