<\/p>\nHere’s a list of hurricane evacuation zones around Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia, and how to find yours.<\/p>\n
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season starts June 1 and its important to know your evacuation zone well ahead of the time an evacuation order is given.<\/p>\n
Every coastal county in the First Coast and those along the St. Johns River have established evacuation zones where people are ordered to evacuated based on the severity of the flooding risk due to storm surge or heavy rainfall from a tropical system. Evacuations can also be ordered for other hazards like extreme wind, hazardous materials or toxic conditions.<\/p>\n

If your area is ordered to evacuate, officials stress the importance of doing so promptly and following designated evacuation routes. Shortcuts could be blocked or unsafe. And once the storm begins, it\u2019s critical to stay indoors, ideally in an interior room without windows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here’s a county-by-county list of evacuation zones.<\/p>\n
\nNortheast Florida <\/p>\n
\nDuval County <\/p>\n
The City of Jacksonville has six evacuation zones labeled A through F.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zone A lies along the banks of the St. Johns River and intercoastal waterways, and includes all low-lying areas along these waters. Zones B and C include all of Downtown Jacksonville, the beaches, Riverside, San Marco and parts of the Northside, while Zones D, E and F include areas north of the Trout River and Jacksonville International Airport, parts of the Westside and Mandarin.<\/p>\n
