2. Learn about the evacuation status. There are three phases of an evacuation:
Evacuation Alert – Moving livestock to safety is encouraged during the
Evacuation Alert phase when time is available. This is also a good time to
move children and the elderly to safety.
Evacuation Order – During an Evacuation Order, the local police of
jurisdiction may strictly enforce traffic flows that move residents to safety.
Evacuation Rescind – An Evacuation Order is rescinded when it is
determined to be safe for residents and livestock to return home.
The RCMP is responsible for implementing evacuation notification. They may use a
variety of local resources to notify people of an evacuation.

the danger (i.e., large field with food and water).
We have sufficient time, personnel, and equipment to round up and move our
•
animals to this area.
q
Option 3: Relocate livestock off the farm. (see section 13)
Relocating the
is the best option because:
We have located and prearranged an off-farm relocation site.

We can gather the animals into a safe location to be evacuated.

We have or can arrange for trucks, trailers, drivers, and handlers, if necessary.

We can arrange for feed, water, and veterinary care at the relocation site.
