Evacuation
EVACUATION MAP
Mandatory evacuation plans come from local officials. Evacuations are based on zip codes. When the call comes, you need to be ready to evacuate. You should also understand the evacuation routes
Local officials make decisions to evacuate before a storm makes landfall. Hurricanes are extremely unpredictable and can become much more dangerous in a matter of hours. It is not safe to wait.
STATEMENT OF NO HURRICANE SHELTERS
Should you choose to stay, please remember there are no shelters in Brazoria County. Also, be aware that emergency crews will not be able to assist you during the storm.
