Duval evacuation zones are river and coast checks
Duval County evacuation planning depends on the address, the coast, the St. Johns River, creeks, low land, and official storm orders.
In Duval County, storm planning is not just a beach question.
The ocean matters, but so do the St. Johns River, creeks, low streets, mobile homes, and bridges. Two Jacksonville addresses can be a short drive apart and still have different evacuation zone answers. Flood zones and evacuation zones are related ideas, but they are not the same tool.
Use JaxReady to look up the exact address. Then write down the zone, the nearest safer place, the pet plan, and the route you would use if an order comes. Do the same for work, school, and any family member you help.
The zone is a planning clue, not the storm order itself. When a storm is close, follow the official order for that event. A calm plan made in blue-sky weather is much easier than learning the map during a warning.
