Evacuation Planning

Leave early. Travel smart. Arrive safely.

Should You Evacuate?

Not everyone should.

  • evacuation zones
  • storm surge
  • flooding
  • local orders
  • home construction
  • medical issues

When Should You Leave?

Probably the most important section.

  • leaving early
  • why people wait
  • balancing forecasts vs panic
  • making the decision before everyone else
