Before a hurricane, it’s important to know your possible evacuation routes. TxDOT’s website offers maps for evacuation routes from the Texas coast, including Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Houston, Pharr, and Yoakum. Consider printing maps of your evacuation routes and placing them with other important documents in your emergency kit. If you need evacuation assistance, you can dial 2-1-1 for more information.

Identify several different places you could go in an emergency, including locations in different directions. If needed, make sure your accommodations accept pets. Most public shelters only allow service animals.

*️⃣  Check with local officials about what shelter spaces are available in your area. Coronavirus may have altered your community’s plans.
