Evacuation Planning

Evacuation Routes

During disasters, many roads, bridges & tunnels will be closed by local government or by situation. Therefore:

  • Always think of safety first.

  • If you are to evacuate from a danger zone, do it before the event.

  • Know your evacuation routes.

  • Know your problem areas - flood zones, poor drainage areas, fire zones, etc.

  • Make a detailed evacuation plan with contingencies.

  • Develop or know safe zones for emergency evacuation & egress situations.

  • Develop plans to rescue & evacuate friends & family if needed.

  • Use family & friends as possible secondary locations if they are in safer zones.
