The bill amends existing laws related to evacuation designations and emergency planning in Alaska. It introduces a new subsection to AS 26.20.100, which establishes three specific evacuation 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 are intended to be used in evacuation maps and public messaging to enhance public awareness and response during emergencies.

Additionally, the bill modifies AS 26.23.075(a) to require that emergency plans incorporate the new evacuation designations from AS 26.20.100(b). It specifies that evacuation plans must include these designations and outlines the necessary components of emergency plans, such as identifying hazardous facilities, establishing response procedures, and ensuring effective public notification in the event of a hazardous substance release. The changes aim to improve the overall preparedness and response capabilities of communities in Alaska during emergencies.
