Hurricane Evacuation Zones - Know Your Zone (Volusia County)

Volusia County designates hurricane evacuation levels A, BC, and DE, corresponding to likely storm flooding. Residents look up their zone with the county's interactive ArcGIS map. Mobile home, RV, and campsite residents must evacuate in any ordered evacuation regardless of zone; failure to comply with an evacuation order violates Florida law. Most of inland DeLand is outside coastal surge zones, but residents should verify their address.
