Have a plan and BE SAFE
MAKE A PLAN
If advised to evacuate, do so immediately and go to a safe place.
Know where you will go, how you will get there, and where you will stay.
Plan well in advance if you will need help leaving or use public transportation.
EVACUATION ROUTE
You may have to evacuate quickly due to a hurricane if you live in an evacuation zone. Learn your evacuation routes, practice with your household and pets, and identify where you will stay.
Follow the instructions from local emergency managers, who work closely with state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies and partners. They will provide the latest recommendations based on the threat to your community and appropriate safety measures.
