The Official Currituck Outer Banks Guide - (Page 29) Hurricane Evacuation/ Re-entry Over the past several years, U.S. hurricane warning systems have provided adequate time for people on barrier islands and the immediate coastline to move inland when hurricanes threaten. Most visitors in hurricaneprone areas have never experienced the core of a “major” hurricane; this often leads to delayed actions, which could result in the loss of many lives. If Evacuation Becomes Necessary: • Follow the Hurricane Evacuation Route road signs. • Avoid flooded roads and washed-out bridges. • Give yourself plenty of time; roads and bridges frequently become crowded and traffic moves slowly. • Relatives and friends will be concerned about your safety; let someone know where you are to help relieve their fear and anxiety. How to Find Evacuation/ Re-entry Information: • Contact your accommodation provider; they should have the most current information. • Call Currituck County Emergency Communications, 252-232-2115. This is the official source of emergency information for Currituck County. • Go online to ComeToOurBeach.com or currituckgovernment.com. These websites will have press releases and the most up-todate information. • Tune into local TV or radio stations.
