Seminole County issues evacuation orders when areas are at risk from severe weather, flooding, or other hazards. Orders are communicated through Alert Seminole, the County website, local news, and social media. If you live in a flood zone, a mobile/manufactured home, or a low-lying area, you should be prepared to evacuate when directed.

Stay indoors and away from windows. Keep emergency supplies within reach, including food, water, flashlights, and medications. Avoid driving during the storm. Listen to official updates and follow instructions from Seminole County Emergency Management.

Seminole County operates public shelters during emergencies, including general population and special needs shelters. Locations are announced before a storm and posted on Prepare Seminole. You can also stay with family or friends outside the evacuation area.
