The City of Mustang
has developed an evacuation plan in case of an emergency. In an evacuation
you should be prepared to evacuate yourself and your family. You should
have a plan of action and every member of your family should be aware of
the plan.
It is unlikely that we would ever have to evacuate the
entire City of Mustang
for any emergency, but it is likely that smaller portions of town may have
to evacuate on very short notice.
It will be your responsibility to evacuate yourself when
necessary on very short notice, in the case of an unforeseen emergency. The
City of Mustang
will have very few immediate resources to assist citizens in evacuating in
the first few hours of an emergency.
In the case of emergencies with prior warning, and
requiring the evacuation of a major portion of the city, the city will
activate the City Assisted Evacuation Plan, in an effort to assist citizens who want to evacuate, but lack the
capability to self-evacuate.
The City
Assisted Evacuation Plan is not intended to replace the individual’s
personal responsibility in preparing for their own evacuation. It is meant
to be an evacuation method of last resort and only for those citizens who
have no other means or, have physical limitations that prohibit self
evacuation.
This information is being provided to you so that you
can better prepare yourself and your family in case you ever have to
evacuate during an emergency. The most likely evacuation you will face is
one that is unexpected, and on very short notice. It is important you
prepare yourself for this type of evacuation, and it is our hope that this
information helps you in that endeavor.
In a foreseen evacuation you will receive additional
information from the city about what routes to utilize in an evacuation,
and what shelters will be available.
The links above are shortcuts to information you may
find useful. You should start out by going to the
Evacuation Guidelines
first. This section includes most of the information you will need and
contains shortcuts to the other sections listed above.
