Hurricane Ike - As of 9/11/08, if you have not registered, please call 311 for assistance.

Hurricane season begins on June 1ST and continues until November 30th.

Local officials may ask people who live in certain hurricane evacuation zones to evacuate if a hurricane looks like it is coming our way. To find out if you live in an evacuation zone you can call the 2-1-1 Special Needs Registry or view the map of the hurricane zones.

If you live in the hurricane evacuation zone, you don’t have a ride and you have a disability or special health care need, it is very important for you to call 2-1-1 now to register for a ride. People who live in a nursing home or an assisted living facility don’t need to call 2-1-1. The nursing home and/or assisted living facility will provide rides for their patients. Registering with 2-1-1 is free and voluntary. The 2-1-1 Special Needs Registry will help public safety and transportation agencies know how to reach you to give you a ride if a hurricane evacuation is recommended.

Everyone who lives in the hurricane evacuation zone should have an evacuation plan.

If you live in the hurricane evacuation zone and you don’t have a ride to evacuate, your plan should include calling 2-1-1 now.

You can also dial 2-1-1 if you live in the hurricane evacuation zone and you:

• Would not have a ride during an evacuation; or, think you should register but need to talk to someone to know for sure.
  

• Also, please be sure to dial 2-1-1 as soon as possible if your information changes
