What are hurricane evacuation zones? Hurricane evacuation zones are zones used to notify residents that they need to evacuate pending the arrival of a hurricane or tropical storm. Depending on your proximity to the coast, you may or may not be located in a hurricane evacuation zone. The closer you are to the coast, the more likely it is that you will be located in a hurricane evacuation zone.
