Tips for Evacuation

If you are evacuating your home here are a few things to consider...

1. Shut off your electric and natural gas
2. Move valuables to a higher location in your home
3. Take a change of clothes and prescription medications with you as you may not be able to return home for several days
4. When evacuating, do not drive through flooded areas! TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN
5. Take with you or secure important documents (birth certificates, insurance policies, passports etc.)
6. Have cash with you.
7. Photo ID
8. If evacuating to a shelter, you will need to leave pets at home. Secure them in the home with ample food and water. Place a notice on your door advising the pets are inside.
