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 that evacuation is imminent, and "Level 3 Go" (red) to instruct individuals to evacuate immediately 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(a) by mandating that evacuation plans utilize the newly established designations from AS 26.20.100(b). It also removes the previous requirement for precautionary evacuation provisions and alternative traffic routes, streamlining the focus on the new designation system. This change aims to improve the effectiveness of emergency response and communication in the state of Alaska.
