If an evacuation is underway, follow current instructions from public safety officials.

Do not wait to complete this tool. Leave early if you feel threatened. A route or destination you write here may be unavailable during an incident. Never drive through fire, flooded roads, or a road closure.

This is a planning worksheet, not a request for evacuation assistance or a route recommendation. Talk through your arrangements with the people involved.
