• If you can stay with friends or family outside your region, have conversations about the process.
• If you go to a hotel, be prepared to pay your own way.
• If you go out of state, be prepared to pay for your own fuel and lodging.
• Listen to the guidance of your local officials for evacuation orders, including possible public shelter locations.
• Evacuate with the essential items you will need if you are away from your home for an extended time, including food, water, and medicine.
