evacuation alert

Leave-now notification signal

An evacuation alert is an official warning that residents may need to leave an area due to imminent danger—wildfire, flooding, chemical spill.

It signals preparation rather than immediate departure: An evacuation alert was issued for neighborhoods near the river.

If conditions worsen, an alert typically escalates to an evacuation order, which means leave now.
