What Do Evacuation Levels Mean?
Level 1 - Get Ready to Leave! You should prepare to leave your current location. Conditions could get worse due to the incident type in your area.
Level 2 - Get Set to Leave! You should be prepared to leave at a moment's notice. Dangerous conditions threaten your current location. The incident may be limting the emergency services ability to protect the area. If you or anyone at your location needs extra time, have pets or livestock, you are strongly encouraged to evacuate now.
Level 3 - Go, Leave Immediately! There is an immediate threat to your safety at this time. Emergency services may not be able to assist you. You will not be allowed to return until conditions are safe.
