Hurricane Preparedness
Hurricane Evacuation

Through the Know Your Zone campaign, City residents are encouraged to find out their hurricane evacuation zone.

Hurricane evacuation zones are areas that may be affected by storm surge flooding. The City uses data from the National Weather Service, topographic maps, and actual events to define areas that are most at risk.

During coastal storms, evacuation areas are identified by the assigned zone.
