Evacuation

 


Re-Entry Procedures

Following are a few general guidelines to ensure safety and order when returning to your home or business after an evacuation.
  • Obtain your Evacuation Re-entry Pass at City Hall or Jacksonville Beach Fire Station #1.  A Re-entry Pass will allow you to pass through re-entry check points.
  • Stay off the roads as much as possible.
  • Treat any intersection with a non-functioning traffic signal as a four-way stop.
  • Do not cross flooded roadways and avoid standing water.
  • If your power is out, turn off all appliances that are still on.
  • If using a generator, ensure proper air circulation to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • Stay away from any downed power lines.
  • Take the necessary health and food safety precautions.
 
Please be patient. Stress levels are high after an emergency.
