Evacuation
The government never issues an evacuation order lightly; it is only done in situations where there is an immediate and serious threat to your life and health.
How to prepare for evacuation?
- If an evacuation order is issued, make sure to follow it immediately!
- If evacuating independently, use only the officially recommended routes, as these are designated based on actual risk assessments.
- Ensure you have a place to stay outside the danger zone, such as a holiday home or with relatives or friends.
- Bring supplies to last for at least one day, ideally three days, per person, based on your needs. Choose ready-to-eat, high-energy, and calorie-rich foods, keeping in mind that there may be no facilities for storing or preparing food at the evacuation location. You must also take any necessary prescription medications, essential documents, cash, a bank card, and a mobile phone with a charger.
- If you have a relative in a care facility within the danger zone, assist them with evacuation if possible.
- Government-organised evacuation shelters are primarily intended for those who have no alternative accommodation or temporary place to stay.
