Evacuating

When you are told to evacuate there are four steps you need to take:

1. If there is time, secure your house.
   • Unplug appliances.
   • In a flood hazard area, store propane tanks or secure them safely to the structure.
   • Turn off the main water valve.
   • Take any actions needed to prevent damage to water pipes by freezing weather, if this is a threat. Securely close and lock all doors, windows and garage.

2. Follow recommended evacuation routes. Do not take shortcuts, they may be blocked.

3. Listen to the radio for emergency shelter information.

4. Carry your family disaster supply kit.
