This bill amends the Alaska Disaster Act to establish standardized evacuation designation levels for emergency situations. It introduces three specific levels: "Level 1 Ready" (green) to indicate a potential emergency, "Level 2 Set" (yellow) to signal imminent evacuation, and "Level 3 Go" (red) to instruct immediate evacuation due to a dangerous hazard. These designations will be incorporated into evacuation maps and public messaging to enhance clarity and response during emergencies.

Additionally, the bill mandates that local disaster emergency plans include these evacuation designations when applicable. It requires that each political subdivision prepares and maintains a written disaster emergency plan that outlines the responsibilities of local agencies and officials. Furthermore, the bill specifies that evacuation plans must utilize the newly established designations, ensuring consistency and effectiveness in emergency communication and response across the state.
