When you're ordered to evacuate, don't wait. Time is of the essence during a disaster. Find alternative routes for home, work and school and practice them. Use the @CaltransHQ Quickmap app for road conditions.

Know you evacuation routes

Evacuation routes should be a part of everyone's emergency plan.
