Have a plan and get a kit

Discuss with your family what you would do during an evacuation alert or order. Make a plan with emergency contacts, a designated meeting point, and consider any assistance you may need to evacuate. Build an emergency kit with water, food, and safety items to be prepared for at least 72 hours, and keep your gas tank half full.
