The 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 preparedness during emergencies.

Additionally, the bill modifies the requirements for emergency plans under AS 26.23.075. It mandates that evacuation plans must utilize the new designation levels outlined in AS 26.20.100(b) and includes provisions for precautionary evacuations and alternative traffic routes. This change aims to improve the effectiveness of emergency response and ensure that communities are better prepared for hazardous situations.
