Do you know your evacuation zone?

Being prepared starts before an emergency happens. Knowing your evacuation zone, where you can safely go, and how you’ll receive emergency alerts can make a big difference when conditions change quickly.

During National Preparedness Month, take a few minutes to make sure you and your family are ready:
• Look up and become familiar with your evacuation zone.
• Identify possible evacuation routes and safe locations.
• Make sure you’re signed up for local emergency alerts.

A little preparation now can help you act quickly when it matters most.
