Evacuation vs. flood, what’s the difference?
There are different designations for two different purposes, and as residents, we need to understand them both. Though often mistaken for each other, flood zones and evacuation zones are not one in the same. Visit the Evacuation and Flood Zone page to find out the difference and why both are important for you, your family, and your home or business.
