ensure a
more orderly
evacuation
of the
Galveston-Houston
area when a
major
hurricane
approaches,
Galveston,
Brazoria and
Harris
counties
along with
the City of
Houston have
adopted a
“zip code
evacuation
plan” for
Hurricane
Season.
The four zip
code zones,
which
generally
correspond
to hurricane
storm surge
risk areas,
begin along
the coast
and continue
inland
toward the
greater
Houston
area, with
the coastal
zone
evacuating
first, and
inland zones
evacuating
in
succession
until all
coastal
residents
have
evacuated.
