Zip-Zones Explained
Find the location of your home or business and note the Zip-Zone where it is located.
Those in Zip-Zone coastal (yellow hatched areas) should plan to evacuate for all hurricanes.
Those in Zip-Zone A (yellow areas) should plan to evacuate for a Category 1 or 2 hurricane.
Those in Zip-Zone B (green areas) should plan to evacuate for a Category 1, 2 or 3 hurricane.
Those in Zip-Zone C (orange areas) should plan to evacuate for a Category 4 or 5 hurricanes.
Make sure you follow your local officials who will be issuing evacuation
recommendations during a tropical cyclone threat.
If you live near a Zip-Zone boundary and are unsure of which Zip-Zone you are in, err on
the side of caution. Assume that you are in the Zip-Zone that will be affected by a lower
category hurricane. Thus, if you live close to the border of Zip-Zone A and Zip-Zone B,
assume that you are in Zip-Zone A and plan to evacuate for a Category 1 or 2 hurricane.
If you live in a mobile home in any of the four Zip-Zone areas, plan to evacuate any time a hurricane threatens.
Please contact our office, 281.337.5074, for more information.
