As we navigate through this hurricane, it’s vital to know your evacuation zone, especially with Hurricane Milton—now a Category 5 storm—heading towards Tampa Bay. Although we’re not in the direct path, its effects could still reach us.

In Florida, evacuation zones range from A to F. Zone A is the most vulnerable and typically evacuated first, while Zone F is evacuated last. Knowing your zone can help you make critical decisions.

Visit the Florida Department of Emergency Management’s website to find out your evacuation area by entering your home address. With Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announcing voluntary evacuations for mobile home parks, it’s crucial to act quickly if you’re in one of those areas.

Keep an eye on our website and local news for updates as Hurricane Milton approaches. Preparation is key to keeping our families safe. Let’s stay alert and weather this storm together!
