Know Your Evacuation Route

Coastal towns have marked routes to higher ground. Knowing yours ahead of time means you can move quickly and calmly if you ever need to.

Find your route

Look up your county's coastal hazard map and find the nearest high ground.

Walk it once

Practice the route on foot. Roads may be blocked after a quake or storm.

Pick a meeting spot

Choose a place where the family will meet if you get separated.

Keep a grab bag

Water, snacks, a jacket, medications and a flashlight by the door.

Sign up for alerts

Most counties offer free emergency text alerts.
