If authorities advise or order you to evacuate, do so immediately. Be sure to remember the Five Ps of Evacuation: People, Prescriptions, Papers, Personal Needs, and Priceless Items. Store supplies now so you can grab them quickly if you need to evacuate. Take time to make a list of the things you would need or want to take with you if you had to leave your home quickly.
