The following guidelines should assure an orderly evacuation of tsunami evacuation zones and keep roadways open for evacuees and emergency vehicles:

 
• When a tsunami warning is issued and/or evacuation is directed by the Department of Emergency Management (DEM):
 
• If located outside a tsunami evacuation zone, stay outside of the evacuation zones. Curtail all non-emergency travel.
 
• If within a tsunami evacuation zone, evacuate beaches and low lying coastal areas except those listed in “;WHERE”; above. Options include:
 
• Horizontal Evacuation. Walk, if possible, to a safe area or shelter outside the evacuation zones and remain in place. See listing of evacuation shelters.
 
• Vertical Evacuation. Remain in or, if prior arrangements have been made, go to a heavy concrete and steel building of at least six stories. Such structures should provide adequate protection if people move to the third floor or above.
