Atlantic and Gulf Coast: Florida households should decide evacuation triggers early because bridge closures, shelter demand, and fuel availability can change before landfall.
Western Gulf Coast: Texas hurricane planning should include inland flood risk, long drive times from barrier islands, and backup power safety for extended outages.
Central Gulf Coast: Louisiana households should treat storm surge and evacuation timing as separate decisions because low-lying routes can close before peak wind arrives.
Southeast Atlantic Coast: North Carolina planning should account for barrier island access, inland river flooding, and tree-related power interruptions after landfall.
Southeast Atlantic Coast: South Carolina households should monitor local evacuation zones and move vehicles, documents, and medications before coastal routes become crowded.
