Go-ahead for evacuation (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clearance

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'go-ahead' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'for evacuation' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for clearance that I've seen before include "Sanction" , "Authority" , "Official authorisation" , "Removing ball from defensive area" , "Green light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
