This Part provides evacuation assistance for members and their families who occupy service accommodation on a Defence establishment if the establishment is evacuated due to an actual or imminent emergency.

Evacuation assistance includes:

• If the member occupies a Service residence — the reasonable costs of accommodation for the member and any family that also occupied the accommodation with the member prior to evacuation. 

• If the member occupies living-in accommodation — temporary accommodation at another Defence establishment or the reasonable costs of other accommodation.

• Reimbursement of meal costs during the evacuation period. If the member has resident family, these costs are based on the location and age of the family members. 

• Vehicle allowance if the member is required to travel more than 50 km to the other accommodation.

• Reimbursement of reasonable additional costs associated with the need to evacuate.
