 How will I know if I should evacuate?

Your local officals will tell you if you should evacuate, and when to leave. Evacuations must begin many hours before the storm arrives, often when the sun is shining and skies are clear. That's the only way to get everyone out before winds and flooding make roads unsafe or impassable. During a hurricane watch, stay turned to your local Emergency Alert System (EAS) stations-KZFM 99.5 FM, KNCN 101.3 FM or tune to NOAA Weather Radio on the high-band FM frequency 162.550 MHz. Be prepared to evacuate before you receive a warning, follow instructions, and leave quickly. DO NOT DELAY.
