Search By Address To Find Your Evacuation Zone

Do you Know Your Zone? If evacuations are ordered in New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick counties, local officials will announce which zones should leave the area. The state of North Carolina has developed the Know Your Zone program for the state’s coastal communities that are most vulnerable to impacts from hurricanes, tropical storms, and other hazards. Higher risk areas in Zone A, such as our beach communities and those located along waterways, will typically be ordered first to evacuate. Then areas in Zone B, Zone C, etc. will be ordered as needed. Officials will use a tiered approach to avoid traffic jams during a mandatory evacuation. As evacuation orders are issued, follow local media and trusted state information sources for the latest information updates.
