Only make decisions on evacuations based on data, orders, and recommendations from the National Hurricane Center, National Weather Service, and your local county or parish emergency management office.
Never make decisions on evacuations from 3rd party commentary and forecast sites, or social media. Please know your local official routes by June 1st of each year and plan ahead knowing that typical evacuation traffic can take many hours to exit coastal cities.
We recommend that coastal city and town residents have luggage and important documents already packed by June 1st and ready to go when mandatory and voluntary orders are given.
