Bill Summary

An Act relating to evacuation designation levels; and relating to the Alaska Disaster Act.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a standardized three-level evacuation designation system for emergency situations in Alaska. The levels are color-coded and progressively indicate increasing levels of danger: "Level 1 Ready" (green) alerts the public that an emergency may exist, "Level 2 Set" (yellow) signals that evacuation is imminent, and "Level 3 Go" (red) indicates a dangerous hazard exists and immediate evacuation is necessary. The bill amends existing emergency planning regulations to require that emergency plans incorporate these new evacuation designations, specifically updating the evacuation plan requirements to reference the new color-coded levels. This standardization aims to provide clear, consistent communication during emergency situations, helping residents quickly understand the severity of a potential threat and the recommended actions. The bill modifies sections of Alaska Statutes related to emergency planning and disaster response, ensuring that local emergency coordinators use these uniform designations when developing and implementing emergency response strategies.
