If you live on the beaches or the parts of Gulfport closest to the water, Pinellas County has issued a voluntary evacuation.

This voluntary order includes everything in Flood Zone A, which includes all the beaches.

Much of South Pasadena, some of St. Pete, and the parts of Gulfport closest to the water (with the exception of almost all of 53rd Street South) also fall in Zone A.

This is not a mandatory evacuation.
