Know Your Zone is a public education campaign to inform residents and visitors of the State’s new hurricane evacuation zones and their vulnerability to storm surge. To help direct our evacuation process if a major storm hits, coastal Virginian has been divided into 4 zones based on areas most likely to flood during a hurricane. Depending on the tides, storm intensity and storm path people living in one or more of the zones may be directed to evacuate. The zones are designated A through D and will provide individuals with a better understanding of whether they should evacuate or shelter at home.
The Virginia Department of Emergency Management (VDEM) is encouraging residents to “Know Your Zone”, so you’ll be prepared if the decision to evacuation is made. Click HERE to find out which zone you live in. Learn More
