TAMPA, Fla. — If an evacuation order is issued for your area or storm surge is threatening to flood the Tampa Bay region, do you know which evacuation zone you're in and where you're supposed to go?
The Florida Division of Emergency Management has a Know Your Zone map where you can type in your address and find your nearest evacuation route. The agency also has individual maps for each county.
