North Shore Evacuation Guide
Some emergencies — such as a fire, or hazardous materials release — may make staying in your home dangerous. In such cases, it may be safer for you to evacuate the area and go to family or friends, or an emergency reception centre.
NSEM has created the North Shore Evacuation Guide to help residents understand:
- What steps to take before and during an evacuation,
- The difference between an Evacuation Alert verses an Evacuation Order and
- how to make an evacuation plan.
