What is the difference between an evacuation zone and a storm surge zone?
Storm surge zones indicate areas subject to flooding from different categories of hurricane. Evacuation zones are areas, typically located within or in close proximity to storm surge zones. Emergency management officials use evacuation zone information to determine who needs to evacuate before a hurricane makes landfall. By becoming familiar with what zone you are located in, you can be better prepared to execute your plan when or if an evacuation order is issued for the zone in which you live.
