EVACUATION PLANS
GENERAL
11. Responsibility. The responsibility for the protection and, if necessary, evacuation of British natignals (other than dual nationals in the country of their second nationality)(2), rests with HM Representative in the country concerned. A HM Representative may also accept responsibility for specified unrepresented Commonwealth and Irish citizens, and certain foreign nationals.

A Warden's responsibility is to maintain contact with British nationals in his area, pass on advice from HM Representative and organise the assembly of evacuees at concentration points to oversee their departure to reception centres when asked to do so. Civil Contingency Plans are normally implemented in phases as follows:
a. Phase I. The community is advised to stay at home.
Phase II. Those who have no urgent need to remain are advised to leave by normal commercial transport.
