Know the natural tsunami warning signs, identify local evacuation routes before an earthquake, and move away from the coast when official or natural warnings apply.
Evacuation planning guides
Prepare routes, transportation, documents, medication, communication, pets, and meeting points before local officials issue instructions.
Build an emergency plan around mobility, communication, sensory and cognitive access, daily support, transportation, shelter questions, and service-animal handoff.
Turn flood watches, warnings, rising water, road closures, and local evacuation messages into clear household actions, safer routes, and an early-leave plan.
Plan emergency transport, destinations, carriers, food, water, medication, records, backup caregivers, pet shelter arrangements, and service-animal access.
Weigh an emergency go-bag by category, set a household-specific carrying target, protect essential and accessibility items, distribute supplies, and practice the route.
