Emergency Evacuation Checklist

Free disaster evacuation checklist to help keep the evacuation process running smoothly.

It is vital to be prepared and ready to go in the instance that an evacuation is ordered. This checklist has everything you need to get to safety.

Each year, hurricanes threaten the coastlines and, if strong enough, require mandatory evacuations. Time is of the essence when an evacuation is ordered and it is vital you have everything prepared ahead of time.

In some cases, you may only have a matter of minutes to escape your home, and if you aren’t prepared, then crucial information and supplies could be left.

Whether you are evacuating due to a wildfire or hurricane, having a checklist to run through will keep things organized and running smoothly so you can evacuate swiftly.
