Know When to Evacuate
Making the decision whether or not to evacuate in an emergency, such as a hurricane, can be a life or death decision. All residents should have a plan in place, especially if you have to work during an emergency situation and your loved ones have to evacuate. Start planning now! Remember:
- Evacuate if you live in an evacuation zone, low lying area or mobile home.
- Evacuate if you do not feel safe at home or do not want to stay at home alone.
- Evacuate if you have a medical condition that requires one-on-one care and /or hospitalization.
When considering shelter options, staying with family or friends outside the evacuation zone should be your first option. Learn more about shelter options.
