Oregon Emergency Evacuation Levels
BE READY, BE SET, GO!

LEVEL 1: A Level 1 Evacuation means “BE READY” for potential evacuation

Residents should be aware of the danger that exists in their area, monitor public safety and local media sources for updated information. This is the time for preparation and precautionary movement of persons with special needs, mobile property and (under certain circumstances) pets and livestock. If conditions worsen, public safety personnel may contact you via an emergency notification system.

LEVEL 2: A Level 2 Evacuation means “BE SET” to evacuate

You must prepare to leave at a moment’s notice.
This level indicates there is significant danger in your area, and residents should either voluntarily evacuate now to a shelter or to family/friends outside of the affected area. If choosing to remain, residents need to be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice. Residents MAY have time to gather necessary items, but doing so is at their own risk.

This may be the only notice you receive.
Public Safety personnel cannot guarantee they will be able to notify you if conditions rapidly deteriorate. Continue to monitor local media sources, county website and your telephone devices to receive further information.

LEVEL 3: A Level 3 Evacuation means “GO” Evacuate NOW

Leave Immediately!
Danger in your area is current or imminent, and you should evacuate immediately. If you choose to ignore this notice, you must understand that Public Safety Officials may not be available to assist you further. DO NOT delay leaving to gather any belongings or make efforts to protect your home.

This may be the last notice you receive until the notice is canceled or downgraded.

Entry to evacuated areas may be denied until conditions are deemed safe by Public Safety Officials. Local and regional media partners (digital, print, radio), public safety and county website-social media sites-call center will provide periodic updates.
