Deciding To Stay Or Go

Before the storm, the decision to evacuate will be up to you- but emergency officials will let you know what's in your best interest.

Until you have to make that decision, it is best to have a plan in place for both staying at home and evacuating to another location. Learn more here about how to make the best choice and how to execute the necessary precautions whether you stay or go.
