Pabineau First Nations Four Stages of Evacuation Plan:
In the event of an emergency residents will be advised when they should prepare for an evacuation.
There are four stages of an evacuation:
TACTICAL - The emergency does not allow for any warnings to prepare to evacuate. This evacuation is immediate due to threat to life safety.
EVACUATION ALERT - People should be prepared to evacuate the area. If not already prepared, use this undetermined period of time to begin an orderly preparation for possible evacuation orders. People may wish to self-evacuate; this is only an alert.
EVACUATION ORDER - People have been ordered to evacuate the area. This is an order and there is no room for discretionary decision making on the part of the population at risk. An Emergency Reception & Information Centre will be set up; you will be given the location and are asked to register in.
EVACUATION RESCIND - The population that was ordered out of the area previously may now return as the danger has passed. People are requested to remain ready and alert in case the situation changes. If this occurs, RCMP will alert everyone in the impacted area.
