  • Leave immediately if ordered to evacuate. Storm surge has historically been the leading cause of hurricane-related deaths in the U.S. We do not decide evacuations. Your local emergency management does.

Ride it out

During

  • It is never safe to drive or walk into flood waters. Six inches of fast-moving water can knock over an adult, and twelve inches of rushing water can carry away most cars. Never drive around the barriers blocking a flooded road.

  • If you are not ordered to evacuate, take refuge in a small interior room, closet or hallway on the lowest level, away from windows. If the eye passes over, the calm is short and winds return rapidly from the opposite direction.
