Hurricane Prep, Know Your Zone
Evacuation zones are labeled A to E, with A being the
most susceptible to storm surge and wind damage. As a storm approaches,
the Lee County Emergency Operations Center, will issue evacuation orders
in phases, with the zones most at risk being first, often while the
skies are still clear and the sun shining. Don’t let the clear skies
fool you.
The areas closest to the Gulf in Lee County are in the A zone,
including all the barrier islands: Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva,
Pine Island. You might be surprised to know that Evacuation Zone A also
includes areas along the Caloosahatchee River upstream to nearly Alva.
Zone A also extends all the way to U.S. 41 from College Parkway to
Bonita Beach Road, where Zone A reaches all the way to I-75. Keep this
in mind as you decide where to go when you evacuate. Do not move from
one Zone A area to another. Map of the mandatory evacuation area, Zone A, for Hurricane Irma as of September 8, 2017. Map courtesy of Lee County. Why evacuate? Storm surge flooding can easily overwash our island in a
storm. Water comes up quickly, but recedes very slowly, often hiding
road damage under flood waters. The water and the ground can be
contaminated by chemicals and raw sewage. Power will be out for a long
time. Tap water may be unsafe. Cell service will be patchy, if available
at all. If you choose not to evacuate, you may not be able to leave
after the storm due to storm damage. Full article and resource
