It's important to note that Evacuation Zones are not the same as Flood Zones. Flood Zones are geographic areas identified by FEMA with a specific flood risk. Evacuation Zones encompass low-lying areas susceptible to flooding and storm surge. Nassau County's Evacuation Zones are categorized from A-K with Zone A being the most vulnerable. Should an emergency occur and an evacuation is needed, orders will be announced by Zone.
Knowing your Evacuation Zone today will help you understand your potential risks and allows you to respond quickly to any evacuation orders that may be issued. We are excited to announce that the Nassau County Property Appraiser's Office has created a new application that allows residents to access their evacuation zone easily by simply entering their property address. Visit evacuations.onenassau.com to find your zone today!
