Mandatory Evacuation Zone A: Beaches and Barrier Islands
BREVARD COUNTY, FL. -- Brevard County has announced a mandatory evacuation order starting at 3 PM TODAY 9/8/17. This order is for Evacuation Zone A, which includes the barrier islands, Merritt Island and some mainland low-lying areas along the Indian River Lagoon. In addition, those who live in mobile or manufactured homes or in other flood-prone areas are also vulnerable and should evacuate, whether on the mainland or the barrier islands.
The evacuation order is effective at 3 PM Friday so that residents and visitors have a minimum of 24 hours in which to prepare their homes and take shelter before the arrival of tropical storm-force winds, which are expected overnight Saturday night.
