Evacuation

In life-threatening situations (such as floods or industrial accidents), authorities may order an evacuation after careful assessment. Rescue services ensure that everyone is safely evacuated.

Once an evacuation is ordered, we must follow instructions from the rescue services. By doing so, we protect not only ourselves but also the health and lives of emergency responders.

How will we be informed about evacuation?

We will be notified in one or more of the following ways:

  • Public media (Czech Radio, Czech Television) and regional media
  • Municipal announcements and electronic sirens
  • Messages from rescue services or responsible authorities

In case of immediate danger, evacuation is ordered after the “General Warning” siren sounds.
