Evacuation Planner – Move Fast, Move Smart

Evacuations can be ordered with hours of notice — or no warning at all. A well-built Evacuation Plan ensures you can move quickly, safely, and with everything you need, whether you’re fleeing fire, flood, chemical spill, or civil unrest.

This plan connects directly to the GoBag or Stay Home™ doctrine. Your GoBag is your immediate lifeline, but the plan decides the “when” and “how.” And if the situation allows, Always Be Ready to Go Camping™ — because sometimes evacuation means setting up in less-than-ideal conditions.

📋 Pre-Planning

  • Identify primary, secondary, and tertiary evacuation routes.
  • Mark safe rally points and overnight stops on each route.
  • Know local shelter locations (and pet policies if applicable).
  • Pre-load navigation apps with offline maps.
  • Maintain a printed contact and address list in your GoBag.

🎒 Packing & Staging

  • GoBags staged for each household member (and pets).
  • Extra tote or duffle for last-minute comfort items or extras.
  • Vital documents in waterproof pouch.
  • Season-appropriate clothing and footwear ready to grab.

🚗 Vehicle Readiness

  • Keep fuel at least half-full at all times.
  • Basic roadside kit, jumper cables, and tire repair tools onboard.
  • Vehicle GoBag/roadside bag with water, snacks, and blankets.
  • Spare phone charger and power bank in glove box.

🐾 Pets & Animals

  • Pet carrier, leash/harness, food, and water bowl pre-staged.
  • Vet records and ID tags updated.
  • Plan for large animals/livestock relocation if applicable.

🕒 Decision-Making & Timing

  • Use verified intel (NOAA, local alerts, scanner apps) to trigger Go/No-Go.
  • Have a household signal for “load and leave” action.
  • Depart before congestion, weather deterioration, or nightfall if possible.

✅ Pro Tip

Run a quarterly “evac drill.” Start from a normal day at home, sound the go-signal, load vehicles, and be rolling within your target time (30 minutes is ideal). Review, adjust, repeat.
