Know your local source
Keep your county emergency-management website and local alert system saved. Conditions, routes, and shelter rules are local.
National quick guide
Clear preparation. Official decisions.
These are general preparedness steps—not live alerts, a shelter reservation, or an evacuation order. Follow official local instructions.
Plan for your needs
Record medications, clinicians, mobility or communication needs, backup power, transportation, caregivers, documents, food, water, and pets.
Evacuation and shelters
Leave when officials direct you. Confirm shelter conditions from an official source; do not assume a listed shelter has space or accepts pets.
When connectivity fails
Keep paper copies of your plan, contacts, and documents. For immediate danger call 911. For local community resources call 211.
Emergency boundary
SafeZone does not dispatch responders, determine official zones, or promise current shelter availability. Call 911 directly for immediate danger.
