Evacuation Guidelines COVID-19 Supplement

Brief description

This supplement provides guidelines and considerations to complement the NSW Evacuation Management Guidelines during the coronavirus pandemic. It is relevant for any incident or emergency where people must leave their home.
It is not intended for use in planning site-specific evacuations such as commercial facilities covered by AS3745:2010 Planning for emergencies in facilities, or for vulnerable facilities that are required to develop their own evacuation plans under AS4083:2010 Planning for emergencies—Health care facilities.
Due to the changing nature of the situation and associated risks, this supplement will be reviewed on a two monthly basis or as required to incorporate relevant changes as the situation evolves.
