Evacuation


Evacuations are more common than you might realise. A gas leak might lead the Emergency Services to evacuate a street. Flooding may require you to leave your house or workplace. Not all evacuations are long term, sometimes you can return after a few hours or you might have to be re-housed while decontamination is carried out. 

 Preparing for an evacuation

  • Talk to your family about the possibility of an evacuation.
  • Plan where you would go, if you had to leave your house or even your town and how you would get there. 
  • Plan a place to meet members of your household in case you are separated. 
  • Ask a friend outside your town to be the checkpoint so that everyone in your family can call that person to say that they are safe. 
  • Find out where children will be sent if schools are evacuated. Remember that this can change at a moment’s notice, if the allocated evacuation point cannot be used as it may be in harm’s way. 
  • Assemble a disaster supply kit that you would need in a Rest Centre - prescription medicine, specific baby items, toiletries and phone lists. 
  • Know how to shut off your home’s electricity, gas and water supplies at main switches and valves. Have the tools you would need to do this ready to use.
