In the event of an
evacuation, Emergency Vehicles will also notify residents via loudspeakers.
Village residents will be
instructed to leave their homes 18 hours prior to landfall of a
storm. This is essential. Please remember that Island Park and
the Loop Parkway are at lower elevations and will flood hours
earlier than the barrier island.
RELOCATE OR STAY WITH FRIENDS OR RELATIVES (NORTH OF SUNRISE
HIGHWAY) Be sure that their home is adequately prepared and
supplied. Have a back up plan in case they are out of town. Be
sure to leave early to avoid heavy traffic roads blocked by
floodwaters.
GO TO A RED CROSS SHELTER Red Cross
Hurricane Shelters are available and will be announced on radio
and television 36 hours prior to anticipated hurricane landfall.
Be sure to go to a shelter as soon as it opens if you intend to
seek refuge there. Accommodations are minimal.
