  • The Emergency & Evacuation Assistance Program (EEAP) provides evacuation support to residents who need specialized transportation assistance or whose medical needs prevent them from evacuating on their own.
  • Residents with disabilities or who need skilled nursing care, assistance with daily living or have life-saving medical equipment dependent on electricity should register with the EEAP.
  • This program is for individuals with functional and access needs who live alone or with families.

Emergency Evacuations & Centers

There are two types of evacuation instructions:

  • Evacuation recommendation: The Mayor may recommend that certain residents take steps to evacuate due to their personal risk. A recommendation might be issued to residents who may need extra time to evacuate due to mobility challenges or people who live in areas prone to flooding that may not be in storm surge inundation areas.
  • Evacuation order: The Mayor may order residents of specific areas of the county deemed to be in danger, based on a hurricane’s track and projected storm surge.
