Evacuating Your Home
Preparing to evacuate your home can be a daunting task, but with a little planning you can be ready for most emergencies.
- Find out if your home is in an evacuation zone by viewing evacuation zone maps or by calling 2-1-1 and speaking with an operator.
- If you live along the coast, keep your gas tank full and have a family plan.
- Ensure your vehicle is ready for the trip and you have packed your emergency kit.
- Know your evacuation routes and take a map with you.
- Your mayor or county judge will make the call for your jurisdiction to evacuate.
- Local officials will stagger the evacuation to keep traffic moving. Wait your turn to leave.
- Secure your home before leaving. Take your pets with you.
