Emergency Management

Evacuation Routes:

Please listen carefully for the direction of the storm by the National Weather Service and local EMA office.

For example: If the storm is approaching from the East or South proceed to the west, the logical path of the storm would be northeastward. If you are on I-65 north you will be in the path of the storm. Information will be given in advance of approaching storms allowing proper evacuation of afflicted areas. Please listen carefully to all weather advisories.

    • Take I-10 West at Water Street to I-65 North to Montgomery
