Choose several destinations in different directions so you have options in an emergency • Do you have maps? GPS? Have you practiced? • Practice evacuating your home twice a year. Drive your planned evacuation route and plot alternate routes on your map in case roads are impassable. • What if you are on vacation?

Leave freezers and refrigerators plugged in unless there is a risk of flooding. If there is damage to your home and you are instructed to do so, shut off water, gas and electricity before leaving. • Leave a note telling others when you left and where you are going. • Wear sturdy shoes and clothing that provides some protection such as long pants, long-sleeved shirts and a cap. • Check with neighbors who may need a ride

  11. Evacuation • Leave early enough to avoid being trapped by severe weather. • Follow recommended evacuation routes. Do not take shortcuts; they may be blocked. • Be alert for road hazards such as washed-out roads or bridges and downed power lines. Do not drive into flooded areas.
