What should people do if they are given an Evacuation Order?

It is very important that residents follow the directions of emergency services personnel if an Evacuation Order is issued.

As soon as advised, those affected should leave their homes or businesses and register at the reception Centre so we know that you are safe. After that you are encouraged to seek accommodation with friends and relatives in unaffected areas or if you require assistance with lodging please alert the staff at the Reception Centre.
