Michael Petruccelli says; 1) Determine if your residence is affected by the evacuation order (does it include your evacuation zone or do you live in a mobile or manufactured home?) 2) If you are evacuation locally, get to your shelter location within a few hours of evacuation order. Be sure to check which public shelters are open. 3) If you are traveling out of the local area, leave ass quickly as possible to avoid traffic jams. 4) If you are not required to evacuate, prepare a safe room in your home and stay off the roads to enable evacuation traffic to clear the area.
