Evacuation orders

Evacuation orders are official directives issued by authorities urging residents to leave a specific area due to imminent or ongoing danger, such as natural disasters or hazardous events. These orders aim to ensure safety by moving people away from harm’s way before conditions become life-threatening. They may be mandatory or voluntary, with mandatory orders requiring immediate compliance. It's important to follow these instructions promptly, prepare necessary belongings, and seek safe shelter elsewhere until officials announce it’s safe to return. Staying informed through local alerts ensures you're acting on the most current guidance.
