The Emergency Manager has the general responsibility for ordering an evacuation, when deemed the most suitable means of protecting the public from a hazard. In situations where rapid evacuation is critical to the continued health and safety of the population, the on-scene Emergency Manager may recommend the evacuation of people at riski in and around an incident scene. The Emergency manager shall direct and control the required evacuation. 2. Evacuation is one means of protecting the public from the effects of a hazard; protection is achieved by moving people away from the hazard. Inj planning for evacuation, the characteristics of the hazard andi its magnitude, intensity, speed of onset, and anticipated Areas to be evacuated will be determined by those officials with the authority to direct a mandatory evacuation based ont the counsel of those individuals and agencies with the necessary expertise to advise on such matters. The use of specialized planning materials or decision aids, the recommendations of local agencies, and, where appropriate, the advice from other subject matter experts, may all be considered in the decision to order an evacuation. The hazard situation which gave rise to the need for evacuation should be continually monitored for changing circumstances. Such changes may include rainfall, shifting winds, and 3. The community must be prepared during all hours of the day, and during all seasons of the year to conduct both small-scale and large-scale evacuations. It is important for residents to understand that emergencies may develop in all areas oft the town at any time. Regardless of the nature of an emergency, residents should be familiar with all steps needed to evacuate in a timely manner when asked to do SO.

See Table 41 for a General Evacuation Checklist  Page17    See Table 5 for possible primary and secondary emergency evacuation routes.  6. Phases of Emergency Response  Because most emergencies begin at the local level, emergency response to an incident will also begin at the local level. As an incident grows beyond the capacity of local responders, Garfield  County Emergency Operations may take command of the incident. Emergency response and command of an incident may develop as follows:  a. The initial response to disasters, emergencies and terrorism related incidents is b.Ifita appears that the incident will grow beyond the capabilities of the town (local responders), ori if more than one local municipality will bei involved in the response, Garfield County Emergency Manager will assist with coordination of the efforts. c.IfCounty resources are not adequate, the Garfield County Emergency Manager will turn to other counties, ini the Northwest Region and/or the state for assistance. 7. intergovernmenta Assistance: As mentioned above, ini the case of any emergency that overwhelms the assets and abilities of local municipalities, Garfield County Emergency Management Team stands ready to take command of any major incident.

Page 18    emergency the Emergency Manager will assess the threat level, and the Incident Commander will make an evacuation discission based on a real time risk assessment. Residents need to register for alert services prior to an incident. Services such as TextmyGov and Reverse 911 will send alerts to phones and emails that have registered in the event of an imminent emergency. In addition tot these services, the Town of New Castle and other local responders employ trained Public Information Officers (PIOs), whose jobi is to send out timely and accurate information via the town's website, text message system, Facebook page, local radio stations, and other means as needed. Residents should use extreme caution when gathering emergency information and be sure that they rely only on information that originates from local Public Information The Garfield County Emergency Management page will have the latest information.
