Evacuation Routes, Maps, and Information

Evacuation Zones

Evacuation procedures are intended to move people in a timely and orderly fashion. Affected residents are encouraged to depart in phases according to their evacuation zone. 

Zone A consists of Camden County’s barrier islands, including Cumberland Island and Little Cumberland Island. Zone B includes most of the county east of I-95, with the exception of Zone C and the barrier islands. Zone C consists of an area between I-95 and the intersection of Colerain Road/Laurel Island Parkway and St. Marys Road. Zone D is all of Camden County west of I-95.

Evacuation Routes

Several factors make evacuation challenging for Camden County residents. I-95 may become congested with the flow of traffic coming out of Florida. As the first Georgia county along I-95 North, many Florida storm evacuees tend to stop in Camden County. Some stop for gas and food, some stop for lodging and others get off the interstate looking for alternate routes. This additional traffic on local roadways may make local evacuations more congested.

As the majority of Camden's population base is in the southern portion of the county, most people will attempt to use Georgia Highway 40 as their route west. There are, however, several other routes that you can take north, south and west from Camden County.

When choosing an evacuation route, consider these points:

  • Keep a road map in your car. GPS units only work when you have a specific destination to which you are traveling. They may not work as well when you have no set destination. You may also want to conserve cell phone battery power.
  • Traveling north or south out of the county may lead to less traveled secondary roads.
  • Secondary roads that may be lesser known, may also be less traveled.
  • Listen to radio information about possible road closures due to congestion or flooding.
