Emergency Preparedness and Planning
If an evacuation is ordered, instructions will be given via the local broadcasting system. In this case, pack up what you want to take with you. You can take no more than 50 kg per person as an adult, 25 kg per child and 5 kg of hand luggage.

Evacuation only reduces the danger that you are in if you follow all the instructions. Follow the instructions of your municipal authorities – evacuation is permitted only on planned evacuation routes with mandatory passage through checkpoints.
Do not worry about your family members; they will be taken care of!
Who does an evacuation order apply to Where you will be evacuated to
Evacuation is planned for all residents with permanent or temporary residence in the danger zone and persons working or attending school in the danger zone. All towns and villages in the danger zone around the nuclear power plant have evacuation plans. You will be informed about the place where the means of transport for evacuation will stop and where you will be evacuated to. Pre-school facilities, schools, medical and other facilities located in the territory of a municipality will be evacuated together with the municipality.
