Evacuation

Immediate risk:

If you smell natural gas, propane or smoke, see fire, or otherwise fear for your safety, evacuate immediately. Once you are in a safe location, call 9-1-1 and report the incident.

General evacuation orders:

If local officials issue evacuation orders, use the evacuation routes and methods specified. Carpool whenever possible. If time allows:

  • Put on sturdy shoes, long-sleeve shirts and pants.
  • Bring car keys, credit cards, road maps, mobile phone, charger and important phone numbers.
  • Bring your Go-bags.
  • If you have a pet, make sure it is wearing a collar, bring it in a pet carrier labeled with your name and the pet's name. Bring a small amount of food, medications and water for your pet.
  • Lock your home and shut off the natural gas, water and electricity, if instructed to do so by local authorities.
  • Leave gas on unless instructed otherwise.
  • Tell a friend or neighbor where you are going.
  • Call your out-of-area contact person.
