EVACUATION ZONES & SHELTERS

Are you in an evacuation zone? If so, have you planned your evacuation route? Residents living on the barrier islands may be asked to evacuate. Visit the Storm Evacuation Information page and use the Palm Beach County Interactive Evacuation Tool to find out if you're in an evacuation zone. If you evacuate, have you made a plan to stay with friends, family or in a hotel? If you have a pet, or special medical needs, it's very important to make a plan before a named storm is headed our way. Palm Beach County shelters should be a last resort. Special needs shelters require pre-registration. Now is the time to make your plan.

SPECIAL NOTICE: CAMINO REAL BRIDGE CLOSURE For residents & businesses on the barrier island: With the closing of the Camino Real Bridge, traffic will be rerouted via Federal Highway, Southeast Mizner Blvd., Palmetto Park Road and South Ocean Blvd./State Road A1A. Please plan your evacuation route accordingly on these alternative roads.
