In the unlikely event of disaster, so that everyone can be removed offsite as quickly and safely as possible, an evacuation plan has been devised. Evacuation Controllers will be wearing high visibility vests.
In the event that we need to evacuate the site the following procedure is to be followed:
-
An air horn will sound a series of three long blasts.
-
Immediately return to your campsite.
-
Collect your valuables (one small bag only) and move to the car park.
-
Once at the car park, give your name to one of the people wearing a high visibility vest.
-
Move to your car in an orderly manner.
-
Once in your vehicle, follow the directions of the person(s) wearing the high visibility vest to form a column.
-
Follow the pace car (hazard lights will be flashing) to the staging area at Peat’s Ridge Rd.
Do:
- Check out the path between your campsite and the car park before the need for evacuation.
-
Follow the directions of the stewarding staff and the evacuation coordinators – in this instance the evacuation coordinator is the final arbiter.
Don’t:
- Panic
-
Try and pack up your entire campsite – it is more important to us that you are safe not your possessions.
-
Try to re-enter the campsite after reaching the car park.
Because of the limited access to the site, it is necessary to have this process in place. Therefore, your understanding and cooperation in this matter are appreciated.
