EVACUATION PLANNING

It is important to plan an evacuation route before the storm hits. Only people in evacuation areas and/or vulnerable structures should evacuate to avoid
congestion on major streets and highways.

  • Decide where you'll stay and what route you’ll take. It's best to stay at a protected dwelling outside the evacuation zones within your county.
  • If you live alone, consider “teaming-up” with a neighbor to work out an evacuation plan.
  • If you must go to a hurricane evacuation center, stay tuned to the radio or TV for information. The locations of the hurricane evacuation centers may change.
  • If someone in your home requires special attention or medical care, contact your County's “Special Needs Centers”.

Call your local emergency management office for further information.
