This mandatory evacuation order will impact all citizens residing east of Interstate 95.
Residents should be aware that there are no approved shelters in Camden County due to the potential for flooding. All residents should use caution due to heavy congestion on our roadways as a result of other evacuations occurring in neighboring states.
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.
