Michael Petruccelli says: Decide whether or not you will evacuate. It's best to get out of town before it becomes mandatory, or even recommended. If you wait until the last minute, an hour will have passed before you get out of your driveway. You can look up your flood zone and evacuation route if you live in Pinellas County by going to - know your zone.

Inform your family and friends about your decision. They will rest easier if they know what you plan to do and why.
