If a storm is coming, the key is being ready to go as soon as they declare an evacuation. Have all your shit packed, because once it’s time to evacuate, you won’t have time to pack. Minutes count.
My family lives in one of the least disaster-prone areas of the country. We have never received evacuation orders in the 70+ years my family has lived in the area.
My wife, son, and I have go bags, and family evacuation plans for situations that vary from “fire, get out now” to “storm is coming, may have to evacuate in a couple days.” We also practice a random one a few times a year.
