EVACUATION INFORMATION SHEET The best way to prepare for disaster is: Prepare your home, make a kit, have a plan, know your escape route and be informed! Evacuation Level Definitions: Level 1 (GET READY) is an advisory notification. Residents should be aware of the potential hazards and monitor local media outlets for information. Residents with special needs or those with pets or livestock should take note and make preparations. During this level, an Emergency Notification System (ENS) may be sent by Klickitat County Emergency Management to all landline telephones and residents who have registered with the ENS in the affected area. Level 2 (GET SET) indicates there is a significant risk to your area and residents should voluntarily relocate either to a shelter, with family/friends outside of the area or be ready to leave at a moment’s notice. During this level, an Emergency Notification System (ENS) may be sent by Klickitat County Emergency Management to all landline telephones and residents who have registered with the ENS in the affected area. Emergency personnel may contact residents through door to door notifications. Level 3 (GO) means danger is currently affecting your area or is imminent and you should leave immediately. During this level, an Emergency Notification System (ENS) may be sent by Klickitat County Emergency Management to all landline telephones and residents who have registered with the ENS in the affected area. Emergency personnel may contact residents through door to door notifications. During evacuations the Red Cross will establish shelters at schools, churches or community buildings.
