When a storm is approaching, every minute counts.
Whether you live on our islands, work here, or both, FISH is here to help! Knowing your evacuation zone ahead of time can make all the difference. This month, take a few moments to learn about your zone, plan your route, and talk with your family or neighbors about where you’ll go if evacuation is needed.
Quick Actions
- Look up your evacuation zone. Visit Lee County’s Interactive Evacuation Map — enter your address to see your zone color and number.
- Locate your nearest shelter or safe destination. Identify multiple options, including pet-friendly and special-needs shelters.
- Plan your travel route now. Have at least two planned routes, taking road closures and traffic issues into account.
- Stay tuned for updates. Follow FISH on social media for timely updates and guidance, whether you’re on- or off-island. You can also get alerts through AlertLee, the City of Sanibel’s social media, and local radio.
Island Insight:
After Hurricane Ian, many of us realized how quickly conditions can change. Reviewing your zone and evacuation options now ensures you’re ready before the next storm strikes.
Together, we can stay informed, stay connected, and stay #IslandStrong.
