In an emergency, your local government officials may order residents to evacuate from dangerous areas. 

When possible, evacuating within your county reduces the chance of being stranded in traffic and shortens your time to return home.  In an extraordinary event, you may be told to go to another county to be safe. 

In any case, follow the instructions issued by your local emergency management officials.
