UPDATE: Sept. 25 | 12:52 p.m.
City and county officials are asking everyone in ZONE A to evacuate. This includes all of Treasure Island. Flooding of 5-8 feet and flash flooding are forecasted for our area.
When Evacuating:
- Grab your emergency supply kit and only take what you really need with you (cell phone, chargers, medicines, identification like a passport or license, and cash).
- Unplug your appliances. If you can, turn off the gas and electricity. To turn off the power, find your circuit breaker panel and set the main circuit switch to off.
- Move possessions to the highest floor or area of your house for the best chance of keeping them safe. Photograph your property for insurance purposes.
- Move electric vehicles off the island. If you have to leave them, park them in the street and at least 20 feet from your home.
