Answer these questions to help you decide if and when you would have to evacuate.

Do you live in a mobile home? If your answer is “yes,” you should evacuate. You are considered to be Zone A and must always evacuate when Zone A or higher is ordered. You don’t have to go far; you just go outside of the area ordered to evacuate.

If your answer is “no,” the next question is, do you have special needs? If your answer is “yes,” consider staying in a special needs shelter, especially if you are dependent on electricity for medical devices.

If your answer is “no,” the next question is, do you live in an evacuation zone? If your answer is “I don’t know,” you can look it up at kyz.pinellas.gov.

If your answer is “no,” you will not have to evacuate. Consider being a host home to friends and family. Invite people to stay with you, and together you can secure your home and stock it with the essentials you will need to ride out the storm and survive the days that follow.

If your answer is “yes,” you must evacuate. You must always leave when your zone is ordered to evacuate. You don’t have to go far. You can just go outside of the area ordered to evacuate.
